I have consistently found that one of my strongest coping mechanisms when facing disappointment, or stress...or just life(!) is to focus on what God has given me rather than on what I wish I had. It works every. single. time.
I started this blog because I wanted to have a place to document some of the immeasurable gifts (blessings!) that God has given me. Just my way of sharing out loud and for the record that I know my beloved Creator and Savior loves me and showers me with that love in countless ways...but for the next few months I am going to try to count them anyway :) After reading this blog post I thought she had a great idea & have decided to join along. I am specifically dedicating my Mondays to thanksgiving, and I am going to share my observations with you. If you'd like to join me, I would love to hear what God is doing in your life too!
This list is in no particular order. I know myself. If I focus too much on the mechanics of the list I'll be completely distracted from the point! Sad. Yet true.
A Thousand Gifts, A Thousand Blessings:
1. I am so thankful for my salvation. I have a personal relationship with the King of Kings. He loves me and provided a way for me to be with Him forever and ever. Thank you, Father!
2. That good tired I get after I've worked hard and been productive.
3. A strong, healthy body that is capable of getting up and getting things done.
4. My children are thoughtful.
5. My children are healthy!
6. Low humidity :)
7. The sunshine streaming through my windows early in the morning.
8. Audrey, Audrey, Audrey.
9. The night sky filled with stars.
10. Birthday greetings from loved ones.
11. I get to talk to the God of the universe any time I want to, as much as I want to. How cool is that?!!
