Blessings

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am. Over the last few days God has been gently and not so gently reminding me of how blessed I am. I decided I would end the year on another top ten list. However this one is in no particular order...


1. I am walking without a boot or crutches. Granted the foot still not quite right, however I can walk. How blessed are my feet...
2. I haven't been sick hardly at all this year. Excluding broken foot I think I had one cold. How blessed is my health
3. I got to fly this year. Every year since I was in college I have gotten to fly at least once. I love it! This year my trip to Chicago was a highlight. How blessed am I to get out of town and discover a new place.
4. I like my parents. Most people are amazed that I actually get along really well with my folks and can live with them as an adult. I love them. I enjoy getting to chill with my parents and I tell them everything. How blessed I am to be able to honor my mother and father.
5. I have such a non-stressful job. Granted there are a few people I work with that I truly need to deal with in small doses but my job is so easy. No weekends, off at four and plenty of time to read and enjoy the quiet. How blessed am I financially with a stable and easy job.
6. I have been able to develop and deepen some relationships this year. My sunday school class has been an amazing outlet and ministry opportunity. I have been able to teach them and they have done the same for me. How blessed am I with a church family...
7. I am so glad that I am a girl. This year I have had so many opportunites for God to remind me that we gals are a special breed of people. I have never wanted to be a boy, but this year I am especially glad I get to be a girl. How blessed am I with laughter, conversations and fun...
8. I am not usually a stuff person, but with the economy the way it is I am grateful for the stuff I have. I have a car, a house, nice clothes and the new wii:) How blessed am I have stuff but not too much:)
9. I am so blessed to be a child of God. I am glad that I enjoy hanging out with Jesus and I hope He likes hanging out with me. Hopefully he doesn't get too annoyed with my whining:) How blessed am I to be saved by grace...
10. Sorry I have to say it. I know I am no longer in high school. I will not sing Friends are Friends forever...but I am so blessed to have true friends. I am blessed that I have people in different states and countries that love me and care for me and are always there when I need them. I am excited that I get to be part of their lives and them part of mine. How blessed are my relationships.


Happy New Year!
