"Count your blessings name them one by one, count your blessings see what God has done; Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will suprise you what the Lord has done!"
I am so thankful for a husband who loves me, protects me, supports me and knows me inside and out. I am so thankful that he is here with me.
I am overcome with thanks tonight to God my Father for many things. I am so greatful that Jackson is home and safe and healthy!! I am so thankful that the pain of the trial is over and that the fears that I had never came to pass. I am thankful that my baby boy is home!!!
I am thankful that I am healthy, that we have a home, that we have jobs, that we are blessed beyond measure with family that supports us and loves us. That Jackson has grandparents who love him so much. That I have "built in" baby sitters and they are GREAT!
My list could go on...and on... it brings me to tears thinking about it. It drops me to my knees in thanks and gratitude for the many blessings He has given me. It is true that surely goodness and mercy have/are followed/ing me all the days of my life.
As I follow blogs, other peoples stories, my heart aches for them. But deep down I know that they are receiving the strength of the Lord, the peace that pasess understanding, the rest in Him, comfort and love from God our Father. And when I begin to fear for them, for the what ifs for them I am reminded that God is God to me and to them. The God who got us through and is getting us through is the same God to them. He will show Himself true and His word WILL be proved true in their lives as well. So instead of worrying, I pray. I pray that God would be to them more than He was for us! That He would wrap His arms around them and shower them with comfort and peace.
I am blessed. No, life is not perfect but my God IS!! And in Him is perfect peace, perfect love and in His arms is the BEST place to be.
