I found myself at a funeral today... I went with my husband to support his longtime friend who lost his wife... I did not know the woman. I had not been to a funeral since mom died in February. I was sitting there minding my own business when I was overpowered by a cascade of emotions! Sneeky things...emotions! Just as I think I have some control they smack me upside the head once again. In keeping with the idea of counting blessings at ALL times I am trying to count these...
- Able to feel emotions at all
- had a mom worth remembering
- have a car that will get to a funeral
- have a husband to go with
- have someone to be with my son Andy so I can go
There...that is how i get started counting those blessings and praising GOD for each and every one!
How about you?
What are you counting as your blessings today??
No pics but day filled with blessings! Yesterday as I was running in 12 directions I decided to stop for a bite(spinach/shrimp salad)... when I slowed down chewing low and behold there sat my sister V! She was taking her lunch break and we got to visit for a change... it was nice. Then I got home and there was sister N from Oklahoma and 2 of her kids... there was picture looking and genuine laughter to be had by all. It is so glad to get to reconnect. To top this day off at bedtime my youngest son called to see if I was ok "since you didn't call me today?" I think this touched me more than anything else all day to know that that this child from Ohio all grown up decided to check on his mom... Such blessings are precious... Did you count your blessings yesterday? Let's count them together today... ok?? :)
