so thankful and blessed.. #1101-1110

Psalm 34:18

18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

Matthew 5:4

4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

God is so good to us.  We are so blessed.  We do not deserve anything that he gives to us.  I look at my children and see the light in their eyes.  So much ahead of them, so much to live for.  Then I think of the tragedy that happened on Friday.  So many children lost their lives along with several adults.  It hurts.  I cried most of the day while I held my children near.  I am mourning with and for those who lost loved ones.  I truly do not know what I would do if something like that happened to our family.  I do know who would be there holding me up, helping me get through every day life.  God.  He will never leave us.  Join me in prayer for those who lost loved ones.  While I will be praying for the people in CT, I am also going to be thanking God for all the many blessings He has given me.

1101. my healthy children.

1102. being able to stay at home with my children.

1103. my husband’s job that is able to support us, while I stay at home with my children.

1104. my children’s laughter and smiles.

1105. being able to teach my children at home.

1106. a roof over our heads to keep us dry.

1107. heat to keep us warm.

1108. God for sending Jesus to us.

1109. Jesus dying on the cross for our sins.

1110. knowing that one day, there won’t be any more deaths, sorrows or tears.  We will be rejoicing and praising God in heaven!

I would love for you to join in counting the many blessings that God gives. Stop by A Holy Experience and visit others who are also sharing their many blessings.

Psalm 30

1 I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. 2 O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. 3 O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. 4 Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. 5 For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. 6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” 7 By your favor, O LORD, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed. 8 To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: 9 “What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? 10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!” 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

The Psalm above is written by David.  It is titled “Joy Comes with the Morning”.  It is said that David wrote this song for the dedication of the temple.  It has also been mentioned that they think it was written  upon his recovery of being very sick.  It reminds me though, that through it all, the good and bad, Joy comes in the morning.  That God does get angry, but He loves us and is always there for us.  I am so thankful that God is there for me.  Even though I am a sinner, He still loves me.  His love, mercy and grace for me is amazing.  Yes, Joy truly does come in the morning.

1091. pain to slow me down, to have more precious time with my children and to refocus on what is most important in life.

1092. a husband and children who are so helpful and understanding, when I have pain and help me out.

1093. a chiropractor and message therapist to see me on short notice to help relieve the pain.

1094. a friend who helps me out with my blog when I have an issue.

1095. a new couch that is comfortable to sit on and big enough for all of us.

1096. our homeschooling neighbor who takes the kids to Lego night at the Lego store!

1097. phone calls from friends across the US.

1098. nature walks with my children.

1099. talking about memories with my children while looking at the ornaments on our tree.

1100. a new friend stopping by for a visit with her children. Such a blessing talking about Jesus with others.
