Today I turned 29 again! I realized I am not getting any younger! I sat down and wrote 10 no 11 things I appreciate about every day! Not necessesarily in this order!
1. God's gift of salvation, mercy and grace He gave us at the cross that I have accepted as a guarantee I'll be with Him someday. And His word to live by!
2. Waking up to the sound of my 2 beautiful children.
3. I appriciate my husband who works hard for us and for watching him walk through that door every day after work.
4. Hearing my husband breathe next to me as he sleeps.
6. Petting our cat and listening to her purr and remembering the greatness of God's creations. The sunshine and the rain!
5. Health of my family - God's healing power in our lives when we are sick!
7. A sound and protective home to live in every day.
8. A working vehicle that keeps my family safe as we travel.
9. Family and friends who send positive and encouraging words each day and the freedom to return them.
10. The freedom of worship we have because we live in the United States.
11. For all the trials that make me a better person.
I didn't want to include 11 at first but It's true. Without the trials we would be less useful to God and those we love.
I could go on and on. I should never take any of these things for granted! Thank you Jesus Christ for every blessing and every trial! When we get to heaven someday it's our character people will recognize!
God Bless and live a purposeful day every day!! even if it means just smiling at someone who loves you!!
