I don't think I've been very thankful lately. Ask my husband....he gets the brunt of my bad moods. I don't know why I get grouchy. I think the devil works overtime on my heart sometimes. They say you should count your blessings, so here I go...
1. I have a husband who loves God, loves me, and loves our children. Hopefully in that order, like it says in the bible.
2. I have 2 beautiful boys that give me a run for my money. They are active and ornery and I love it. I hope the disobedient part subsides eventually, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope for that. At least not until they are adults.
3. We have a church family that loves and supports us all the time. They don't even all know us that well. We haven't done anything to earn this love....they just give it freely because that's who they are.
4. We have a beautiful home to live in. It's not ours, but it keeps us protected and gives us 3 times more room than we ever had before.
5. We have 2 cars that are completely paid for and run pretty good. They keep my children safe and us going.
6. Chris and I both have good jobs and wonderful supervisors. My boss is wonderful to work with my schedule when I need to be off.
7. I have a family that loves me in Oklahoma and Missouri.
8. I have a good education that I can take with me wherever I go.
9. This should have been first on the list, but I have a God that loves me so much that He gave his life for me. He is going to let me live with Him forever in heaven.
10. I have awesome friends that are there for me when I need them.
These are only a few of the things that bless my life. Most of them are people. Others are things that help take care of the people in my life. When I feel down or irritated, I just need to remember to count my blessings and change my attitude.
Amen, sister!
