Birthdays and Changes in Plans...

How amazing...another opportunity to count down the blessings given to me by God!  I love the conscious counting of precious gifts from God!

Today I am thankful for...

441.  ... time spent with family to celebrate the birthday of a grandson.

442.  ... the way God speaks to me through His word.

443.  ... confirmation of God's will given by various means.

444.  ... God's grace...if I 'had' to have 'shingles,' then I'm glad that I got them where {on my body} I did. 

445.  ... quick diagnosis and medication to bring to a quick end these horrible shingles!

446.  ... my nurse daughter - who huffs and sighs every time I ask her nursey kinds of questions!

447.  ... changes in plans {I'm sorry, Lylea} that allows me to have the 'baby' sitter I wanted  {for my sweet little miniature daschund}.

448.  ... the opportunity to take some much needed 'time' away from it all with my hubby.

449.  ... the prayers and concerns of the congregation for one of our own.

450.  ... an evening with 'nothing' to do.  I can't believe that I got everything finished!!!

So, tell me, what are some of the things that God has blessed you with lately?  Yes...that's right, I want you to 'purposefully' count some of them.  Realize that what you have you have because of God's grace and mercy and love!

Have a wonderful day,
