Do you see your blessings?

This week has been hard.  With the events of the week and all the comments on who's voting for who and blaming the other side, trying to find our new groove in life here in our new home,  and on and on and on, I just can't seem to find something to be happy about.  In fact, it's made me quite tired and snarky.  I hate being snarky.  It's not any fun at all!

So this post is going to start a list of things I am grateful for.  I'm just tired of people NOT seeing the blessings that are right in front of them! This includes me! :(   

So here we go ~

The cool temperatures here

The rain we've had for several days now

For littles wanting to learn about new things that were never of interest before

For new friends

For old friends

For God's grace when it's time to say goodbye

For his mercies when the new day begins

For new stories unfolding

For love that surpasses understanding

For the cross

For the empty tomb

For a choice to come to him when I'm tired

For the comfort of a loving Heavenly Father

For the love of a husband

For sweet kisses on the cheek from a little who is up before mom

For snuggles at the end of the day

For Jesus being my King

For Jesus being my banner

For Jesus being our provider

For Jesus leading every step of the way

For a little boy who waits on his family to come and get him

For every single person who is helping us get to him

For lives being changed

For forever families

For each breath that we take

For big girls coming to give mom a hug just because

For a chance to make a difference in one person's life

For reminding me who I am

For I AM

For the choice to be happy

For freedom

For the gift of life

For forgiveness

For deep belly laughs

For tears

For hurts

For butterfly kisses

For memories

For hope

For LOVE

For faith the size of a mustard seed

For quiet moments

For loud moments

For smiles

These are just a few of the things I'm thankful for today.  Each one is a blessing.

Have you made a list of yours today?

STWTHE,
