I feel discouraged today and I have no good reason for it. True, I’ve got a sink full of dishes…..laundry waiting to be washed, in the washer, in the dryer, and on the couch waiting to be folded….school to do today….presents to still buy (only a few though)…and floors that desperately need to be vacuumed, sweep and mopped (my chore for today). But that’s just life. Why this discouragement?
Maybe it’s time to change my focus! So, here are my blessings today:
1) My husband who faithfully keeps going each day even though his health is not the best.
2) J1 – who has such an active mind and a wonderful sensitivity to the Lord.
3) J2 – who is always joyful and interested in life.
4) J3 – who’s smile brightens my day everyday!
5) That through the grace of God I’m priviledged to call them my sons.
6) A warm home.
7) A pantry full of food waiting to be prepared for my family.
8) Yarn to keep my hands busy and my mind challenged.
9) A very parttime job that allows me to work from home for a company that values God and family before the magazine!
10) Online friends who are faithful to pray and even quicker to laugh with me!
11) My wonderful extended family.
12) I’m so thankful that we live in California again…near our family.
I really could go on, but I better deal with the kitchen, laundry and the day now! 🙂
