Am I done yet?!

I have heard it over and over that a person cannot grow with out a few trials.

Well, I'm sick of growing!

Life has seemed so difficult lately. In times of trial my mother so kindly reminds me to think of my blessings. After some groaning and murmuring I have decided to take her advice. (Don't tell her)

Blessings I am so grateful for
  1. An awesome family who is always willing to come to my rescue.
  2. My amazing husband who still loves me and wants to spend time with me.
  3. Three beautiful kids that like to remind me that they "wuv " me.
  4. My youngest son's hugs and the way he pats my back.
  5. Sari's helpful personality and peace making abilities.
  6. I am so grateful for Lincoln and his wonderful imagination and his many questions that make me think and ponder new ideas
  7. A wonderful mother who seems so happy to visit with me even though I have called 4 times that day already
  8. I'm grateful for in-laws that make me feel like one of their own.
  9. I love that I have a creative mind even though it often gets me into bigger things than I think I can handle.
  10. I am so happy to live where I do.
  11. I am grateful my husband supports my ventures and then supports me when they may not turn out like I had hoped.
  12. I am grateful for my wonderful childhood.
  13. I am so lucky to have such good friends that call just to chat.
  14. I am so glad to have a father in heaven who answers my prayers.
  15. I am grateful for a husband who does what it takes to provide for our family.
  16. I am grateful for good neighbors.
  17. I love that we can be self sufficient if need be.
  18. I love that my kids get to grow up in the country.
  19. I feel so lucky to be able not to have to work outside my home.
  20. I am blessed to know that the Lord won't test me more than I can handle.

Hey! I just stumbled across your blog. :)

I have been feeling the same way so I am going to do the same thing - count my blessings. It seems there has been one challenge after another lately and I keep thinking it's going to end. But I don't think so. (Not even if I kick and scream.) We just have to put on our armor, hold our heads up, and fight the battle. And, count our blessings!







Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, LIVE TODAY!
