Seems like somewhere along the way I missed some blessings. My dear husband pointed out to me that I had jumped from 30 to 41 ..... after some investigation i discovered that he was indeed correct. So, here are the missing 10. Although, today as I contemplate my blessings and endeavor to list some here I am struck by the simple truth that if I were to list every single one I would be here for days on end.
31. my dad ...... I love him so much and have recently been reminded of this while waiting for him to come out of surgery.
32. My sister, my brother and my mom. An abundance of happy childhood memories as the littlest Tinker.
33. Plane ticket that will take me home to mom and dad.
34. A supportive husband.
35. long phone conversations with my daughter, who is now one of my best friends.
36. a purring contented cat, lounging in my lap .... I don't know how or why this brings me so much peace, it just does =)
37. Bible study fellowship, this study has challenged me, strengthened me, and held me accountable.
38. A daily schedule that was once busy and demanding but now is slow, quiet, ... a time for seeking and resting.
39. a rainy day
40. grace, of which I am always in need
The children are growing up, I see the empty nest in the not so distant future so here I am to explore parts of me that have been dormant, pushed aside at first by sleepless nights, babies, then little league, PTA and the tyranny of the urgent. So for now this is for me and perhaps those in my life who would take an interest in the process.
