When I think of my blessings a couple of songs come to mind and I just start singing them.  The first one is Count Your Many Blessings and the second one is Showers of Blessings.  These songs brings back such wonderful memories for me.  My dad used to lead the singing in the church I grew up in.  I can picture him now up front with his eyes closed singing to the Lord.  His bass voice always was calming to my heart.  I knew he loved Jesus.  Yes, he wasn’t perfect, but he did try his best to live his life for God daily.   It is my goal to be an example like him.  I want my kids to know that while I do make mistakes, that we have a merciful God so full of grace.  That we are saved by grace.  That all we have to do is admit that we are sinners, admit those sins and give our life to Him.  Live our life for Him.

1 John 3:21-23

21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

So today, I am continuing on with counting my blessings.  I hope you will join in with me.

817. my children.

818. for my two children who have admitted they are sinners and have asked forgiveness and been saved by grace.
