Blessed - why in the world I decided to blog about it and what does it have to do with you?

Guess what? There are a great many blogs out there about being blessed. And what a delightful "problem" to have finding a blog name that isn't already taken. So here is the deal. I am very blessed and very, very grateful for it. And I know that you are, too... blessed that is. Some of you realize it, and likely some of you don't.

I figure it is high time to share. To recognize the blessings that come to us in all way - both Huge and quite small. For God's blessings extend in all reaches of our lives, not just new jobs or the finding the "right" person. This morning I'm grateful that I have a God who loves me, children I love right down to a cellular level, and friends and family who are incredibly dear to me. And I have a place to live, food to give my children, I'm healthy, employed and my car (though as old as Ben) runs just fine. The list is huge and I won't go on lest your eyes glaze over and you begin drooling on the keyboard.

But while the purpose of this blog is to count my blessings over time and seasons, it is also just as much a venue for you to recognize and share yours.

Today I am grateful for the chance for my family to share in time spent with friends, that the sun is shining, that Bill is home with the Lord and settling in there, that Amy will likely let me bum fresh chicken eggs off her this morning, and that I am simply alive another day to write this.

What are you grateful for this morning, this day?

  1. I would follow you anywhere. What a great idea! And how blessed we did feel yesterday, and as I look around this beautiful morning, what a blessing the morning is! And perhaps I will see you sometime today!

  2. I'm glad I at least got to lay eyes you and the fabulous Hugh today. I share your feelings on the blessings that abounded at Bill's funeral. What a treasure he was.
