Blessed

I am thankful for so much in my life. Blessed is more like it, because I know that the wonderful things that are happening around me are not because I have done anything~it is God. So here is a very rough/random list of things that I am thankful to be blessed for.
  • My growing relationship with God. I appreciate the word that He has written and the guide that it provides for my life. I fail miserably at being his servant but I relish the fact that he still calls me his child.
  • Cameron~This man is beyond my knight in shining armor. He forgives freely, blesses me with his smile, and calls me sweetie always.
  • Gracelyn~What a girly girl. I love her spirit and unique ways that are so different than myself. She has taught me that being strong willed is not a bad thing.
  • Cannon~He is my firecracker. The new words that come out of his mouth amaze me. I love his latest-wrorry (sorry) He is independent and completely dependant on his daddy at the same time. I love that.
  • Mason is sleeping through the night now and that is sweet bliss. He is starting to wave and gives kisses at the right times. What a joy.
  • My family & extended family~You're the best!
  • Church family (you really fall into the extended family category in my book)
  • Friends~How lucky can one girl be? I know, I know, It isn't being lucky it is blessed. I agree whole heartedly... Friends make the world go round right?
  • My job~13 kids keep me on my toes but I make it through with my co-teacher Teresa!
  • My house. Although there are many days that I can tick off 5-8 things that I want to change I am grateful beyond words that it is mine to change if I ever wanted to.
  • Living in a town that experiences each season. Now there are sometimes that I wish we could skip summer all together but I do love it deep down.
  • Gifts that have special meaning and not just because I need a new shirt because my favorite has every kind of baby food on it mixed with some poop.
  • Fluffy towels
  • New chapstick
  • Cell phone batteries that don't need to be charged at the end of every day
  • Toys that do not need batteries
  • A stocked fridge and pantry
  • Great smelling candles
  • Light bulbs that last more than a few months
  • Good smelling coffee. I don't normally drink the stuff but I love the smell. Especially hazelnut.
  • Being able to find a pen when needed and not having to look for 10 minutes because I hid them all from Cannon.
  • Fresh flowers on occasions that aren't Valentines, Birthday or Anniversary dates.
  • Sleeping past 8:00 am

I could go on and on so I better stop but you get my point. There are too many things in my life that I am thankful for. Some being more serious and important than others.

Another simple way to put it~

I love my life!

I loved reading your blog. It is so amazing how God blesses his children so abundantly. When you really set down and reflect on your life you find so many things to be thankful for. You are so blessed. I am thankful for the blessing of our friendship. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Love you.
