Blessed

To say I am blessed is almost putting it lightly. I enjoyed such a rich time with my Lord this morning and as I begin the rest of my day, I am overwhelmed with how much He has blessed me. When you count your blessings, there's hardly room to include any complaints. I really should count my blessings more often. :)

So as I go about my day today, I will thank the Lord for the dishes I must wash, because my kids have food to eat. I will thank Him for the clothes to wash and put away because it means my family isn't walking around naked. I will thank Him for my husband's job, for we can pay for a home for our family, cars to drive, food to eat, lights at night, etc. I will thank God for poopy diapers and mouths to wipe, because I am able to experience the joy of children when so many others can not.

I will thank Him because He deserves nothing less and I deserve none of this. I will thank Him because He loves me so much, because Christ died for me and because He delights in His children.
