thankful for all my blessings #626-640

Colossians 3:23-24


23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

The above verse has been one of my main goals this year.  All that I do, I want to do it for Jesus.  That includes thanking Him for all the blessings He has given me.

626.  Being able to read with friends through the Bible in 90 Days.

627.  My Bible.

628.  Reading the bible with my children.

629.  Learning to memorize scripture with my children.

630.  Bringing baked goods to church for members and visitors.

631.  Talking with visitors at our church.

632.  Spending a snow day with the family.

633.  What the children laugh as they sled down the hill.

634.  An unexpected gift card from a loving family.

635.  Safe trip to and from the dentist.

636.  An unplanned visit from a blogging friend and her family.

637.  Blogging friend’s children and my children laughing and playing together.

638.  The promise and plans to visit each other again soon.

639.  A pastor who is not afraid to preach the truth.

640.  A much needed afternoon nap.

I hope you will consider joining me and the others at A Holy Experience!

blessings continuing on into the New Year #616-625

Isaiah 6:1-8

 1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 
2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 
3 And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” 

4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 

5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”
 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” 
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”

Christmas holidays are over.  The New Year is now here.  Break time is over and it is now time for us to get back to our normal schedule.  I have several goals for myself this year.  I will be touching on them in another post.  However, my main goal is listed in the scripture above.  It is what the seraphim do in the scripture above.  It is to sing and claim daily, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; 

the whole earth is full of his glory!”   I love how in verse 8, Isaiah said, “Here I am! Send me.”
Another goal of mine is also mentioned in the last verse.  I want to be like Isaiah and say, “Lord, Here I am, Send me!”

Moving on to the blessings that our mighty God has given us this past week:

616.  Hubby home another week with us.

617.  Watching the kids sled with their new sleds.

618.  An afternoon lunch and consignment shopping with a special friend.

619.  An afternoon lunch and a walk downtown with a special friend.

620.  Hubby holding down the fort so I can get out for a few hours.

621.  A new pair of shoes to start walking in.

622.  A ride up to Newfound Gap, in the Smokies with the family.

623.  An evening walk in the fresh cool mountain air.

624.  Family working together to clean the house.

625.  Ringing in the New Year with my whole family together.

I hope you will consider joining me and the others at A Holy Experience!

blessings abound through the blogging break #606-615

Luke 2:1-7

 1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Yes, I did say I was taking a blogging break through the Christmas holidays.  However,  the blessings don’t take a break.  They continue every day of the year.  So here I go, listing just a few from this past week.
606.  Safe trip to Florida to visit family for a few days.

607.  Friends to open their home to us for a few days.

608.  Special time spent with family and loved ones.

609.  Christmas gifts to us from family.

610.  Safe trip home from Florida.

611.  Celebrating the birth of Jesus in our home with our children.

612.  Watching our children open their gifts.

613.  The younger kids telling us Christmas is about Jesus and not the presents.

614.  The surprise of a gift from my hubby.

615.  Most of all, being able to spend time worshiping the birth of Jesus at church with our church family.

The blessings listed above aren’t the only ones we had during the last couple of weeks.  There were many more.  There are always so many blessings.  I know there are ones that I miss and fail to write down.  I do plan to continue to keep writing my blessings down in 2012 and I hope you will consider joining me and the others at A Holy Experience!
