So much to be thankful for. Join me today as I share the blessings we have been given.
471. Rain. Yes, we had several days of rain and every drop was needed.
472. The cooler temps the rain brought in.
473. Our new library. It gave us a place to be in doors, while it rained.
474. Children who love to read as much as I do.
475. A homeschool group that is like family.
476. Friends who will stop what they are doing in a second to take time to pray with you.
477. Being able to go to a mom’s night out with other homeschool moms to relax and laugh together.
478. Saturday’s to watch College Football with family.
479. Sunday afternoons to watch a little Pro Football!
480. Awesome men of God to fill in while our pastor is on vacation.
481. Freedom to worship how I want.
482. So blessed to be a part of this wonderful Country that we live in.
483. I am so thankful for the firefighters, law enforcement and medical teams that risk their lives daily helping those in need.
484. I am thankful for the military that risk their lives daily serving our country and fighting for all the freedoms that we have.
485. John 3:16-18
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”

Take the time to thank God for what he has given you. I promise, if you take just a few minutes each day, you will find something God has blessed you with.

In Constant Prayer – Book Review

In Constant Prayer – Book Review
By Robert Benson
In Constant Prayer (Ancient Practices)

For me, some books are easy to read and others take me a long time.  In Constant Prayers, is a book that has literally taken me months to read.  It was not what I thought it would be.  I thought it would go into the Lord’s Prayer and teach you how to pray and to pray without ceasing.  However, the author is telling about the history of the daily prayers and his personal journey through praying daily.

This book was difficult for me to read because I was taught growing up that I could talk to God anytime, anywhere.  It didn’t have to be a set time on the hour.  God is with us always and will hear us call out his name no matter the time of day.  Since this is how I was taught to pray, it would be hard for me to recommend the book to others I know, even though I think the author did a good job of his story telling.

I was given this book free of charge to read by Book Sneeze for my honest opinion.

Multitude Monday #461-470

Another two weeks have gone by since I have posted a blessings post. So much to be thankful for and I have not taken the time to write them down. God has been good to my family. We see blessings daily. Yes, August has ended and September has come roaring in. While we didn’t feel anything from the earthquake, or see any clouds wind or rain from Irene, God has now sent Tropical Storm Lee to given us the rain we need. Yes, my family and I have truly been blessed. Now, I will do my best to list them one by one as I am working towards a thousand and beyond.

461. Helping a friend by watching her children 2 days a week. Yes, this is a blessing to be able to help.

462. Celebrating my dads birthday, even though he is know longer with us. The sweet memories I have of him are wonderful.

463. I am so thankful and blessed I was raised in a Christian home.

464. So blessed to of had a father who would read his bible with me.

465. Being able to volunteer in the nursery in church.

466. The bible studies being offered in church to strengthen our knowledge of the Bible.

467. A pastor who teaches the word of God and isn’t afraid to stand up for what is true!

468. For my husband who loves me unconditionally.

469. For my husband who stands up and defends his family.

470. I am also thankful for the family who says mean and ugly things about me and my family, for they strengthen my family and draws us closer together. Yes, the words hurt, but they are making us grow as a family and closer to God.

Take the time to thank God for what he has given you. I promise, if you take just a few minutes each day, you will find something God has blessed you with.
