I thought since it seems are lives are so difficult and sometimes on the negative side. Maybe we might just start acknowledging blessings each day. Maybe this will help us keep ourselves from falling into all the negative. Like today I am blessed because I noticed my patience is getting better. I hope you all can see at least one blessing a day. Even though we have many we sometimes don't think about or see. May God Bless.
So glad you and Dad had a good time and that laughter was involved. What a blessed time.
God is good everyday, and everyday God is good.
Also, as we were going into the theater where our movie was being shown, there was a bit of a difficulty holding open the door for my dad's power wheelchair, and a nice young man and what looked to be his mom (on a "last day of summer vacation" treat, I imagined), ran over, with buckets of popcorn in their hands, to help with the doors. So nice!
Thanks, Lord!
It was quite refreshing, like we were a bunch of kids. It was something me and DH use to do, and now Mom too.
It was a blessing just to do something as simple as that.
Thank you Lord.
And thank you rosses, the Lord is gracious.
My Mom had a good day talking with friends and she was so happy this evening.
And the man who lost his wife, seems to be doing better emotionally. He is getting our and his countenance is a lot better.
Quite a lovely day!
Thank you Lord, for everything!!!
John 1:1
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
Simon Peter answered him. "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life...."
2 Corinthians 12:10
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Psalms 147:3
That is a Yay!!!! Snoopy, a big YAY!
I am blessed this day with edification from church services. I am blessed to have a couple of days off from my secular job. I am blessed we are home safe and sound.
I am saddened that I have a funeral to attend tomorrow. But I am blessed to know this ladies final destination is Heaven. And I am blessed to know that I have the opportunity to go there too.
I am blessed to know that life is short, passing at rapid speed. And that I need to make sure I have my priorities straight. And most importantly, I am blessed to know Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world.
We just spent 21 hours with no a/c in a house that did not get below 87 degrees. I did not realize how much a/c meant even though as a very young child all we had was a window unit and fans. When I was young heat did not bother me. Last night, for us both (due to health issues) was hard, but we were able to get the a/c fixed this afternoon and once again we are back to 76 degrees (wahoo!!).
Counting my blessings? Definitely...much to be thankful for. A/C, my honey, our pups and my honey's family as well as a roof over our head and food in our tummy and sooo much more.
Y'all have a great night and the rest of your weekend!
I should have clarified just in case some are not aware of the lady I spoke about on the believers thread.
I thought last night how I should have been clear that it is not my Mom. Just in case any might have thought that, and if so I am very sorry for the misunderstanding.
You all are wonderful people and I am so glad you are my virtual family.
Much love and prayers for you too
Snoopy and Frazzled, thank you.
I do feel HIS arms around me. :) It is the only way I can take a step each day.
We will miss her dearly.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Revelation 14:13
Blessed to be home safe and sound with my loved ones and I have a day off tomorrow, going to sleep past 5 am, I hope. I am thankful for all of you as well. My second family. May God bless each of you according to your needs.
Please take care and keep us posted how you are doing.
But, it is sad to say that so many people run away from helping others. I am blessed that DH is one to run to help others.
I have been blessed so much, these last few days.
I have been offered a promotion at a job I have only been at for little over a month. Substantially more pay, which is just a bonus, but it is a great company, and I enjoy my coworkers.
My Mom is getting along fine, having DH around if needed.
Today was a much cooler day, with a nice evening breeze, and weather forecasts cooler days ahead. Hallelujah!
I have a couple of days off and will get to do some mowing of which I enjoy.
Thank you Lord for blessing all if us, and for all your love and what that means for us.
We had a good day today. My honey's brother and SIL came up and spent most of the day with us. They are like family to me too and love each time they come to visit. They took us to our favorite Mexican Food restaurant for my honey's birthday dinner and then we just came back and visited. Both our fur babies like them so it was very relaxing. We took a nap and overall it was a very upbeat day.
I feel very blessed. Tomorrow just a day of R & R for both of us. (smile)
After 3 hours he grew weary of looking at dozens of boxes, so offered to take me to see my Mom. We had a good visit, even to the point of her singing along with the old song "Waltzing Matilda" on my cell phone. She enjoyed a small bag of chocolate chip cookies we brought with gusto!
We tried to out for an early dinner but the three (new to us) restaurants he drove past were jammed. So we got to go to my fav Chinese place and had my fav Shrimp dish.
Now back home with a cold iced tea and on the computer.
Who could ask for more? Thanks Lord for a fulfilling day.
Smeshque and Dusti, blessings to you and all AC readers!
