It's a stormy day today here in Tennesse. But we really needed the rain. In my quite time with God this morning, I was thanking him for the rain and praising Him for the blessing. And I got to thinking about all the other everyday blessings we often take for granted.
In these times of economic turmoil, I am truly blessed to have a good job and a wonderful boss. I am blessed to have a roof over my head that doesn't leak. I am blessed to have a warm, safe home that has stood against the storms. I am blessed to have a loving husband who helps me with household chores when I ask. (Sometimes I forget to ask, and he doesn't do the things that I expect him to do. But that's a discussion for another day.) I am blessed that my husband also has a good job. We are blessed that we no longer have credit card debt. I am blessed that my grown son lives outside my home and supports himself. I am blessed to be able to admitt that, especially since I am an empty nester who often wishes my son were a little boy again. I am blessed to have a sweet little dog, Lucy, who is my "perpetual child." I am blessed with good health. I am blessed with a mom who lives close by, and who is also in good health. I am blessed with two sisters who are also my friends. I am blessed that my sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year is now cancer free. I am blessed with a huge extended family. I am blessed with a wonderful church family, and friends galore, most of whom would give me the shirt off their back if I were truly in need. I am blessed that all of my family and friends give me love, laughter, encouragement, and memories that make up the fabric of my life.
I could go on for days about the tangible things in my life, like food on the table, a good dependible car, nice clothes, furnishings, etc., but when it comes right down to it, it's the intangible things that matter most. Regardless, I am truly showered with blessings!
