Blessings

Well, I am reminded that today is Monday. Yesterday, Jeff and I celebrated our seventeenth wedding anniversary with Jeff's Parents. We were up pretty late and decided to go to Walmart. It was about one in the morning. So, I did not get up real early today. But, when I got up and around, I started panicking about everything. And, after having a complaining (on my part) conversation with a friend. I realized that I need to sit back and remind myself of the blessings from God. I think I rely to much on my friends and family to uplift me. I need to rely on God and let his word uplift me. I am blessed, I just celebrated seventeen years with one spouse. I have not had to experience divorce like my parents did. I have been blessed with my kids. I am a homeschooling mom, who does not have to work. I can give my children the teachings of the Lord in their schooling. I have freedoms that other mothers do not have. God protects me and loves me. I am blessed that I have such wonderful in-laws that love me and took me in, when my family would not. I really need to realize that I am blessed to live in a country where I am free to worship Jesus. I do not have to hide my bible or be afraid of who I talk to. I am blessed. Thank you God for You!!!!!
