52 Blessings Week 4

This week's blessing is the fact that I've had a lot of subbing jobs this year. God knows we need the money, and He as faithfully provided jobs for me. I'm also thankful that I am getting two days off this week! That's the beauty of subbing...it doesn't have to be everyday. But, I do want to sub as often as I can. I already have a job lined up for Friday, which is really nice! Plus I have my regular Thursday job in a 3rd grade class (of which is another real blessing...to have a steady job at least once a week!). God is GOOD!

52 Blessings Week 3

Today I have to say that my blessing is my dad. Today, he turned 85 years old. He is a WWII Vet and a pastor for 15 years. I am thankful for his Christian example. I am blessed that I now live only 6 houses from him (and my mom!) and have been able to go on many walks with him. I realize that our days with dad here on earth may not be very many more, so I realize that I am blessed for every day the Lord leaves him on earth for us.

52 Blessings Week 2

This week I am definitely blessed to have a two week subbing job! God knows our financial situation, and He has blessed me with a short term subbing job for the next two weeks! PLUS, the school where I subbed today, needs me back on the last Friday of the month. So, I am basically teaching the last 2 weeks of January. Thank you, God, for being faithful and supplying our needs.

Here we are at week #1...

My 1st Blessing is my two boys. I was so happy to have my two sons spend Christmas here with us in Washington. Even though getting here and even going home, proved to be a challenge for them (weather and airline problems!), I am truly thankful and blessed that they made the effort to come up here. God has truly blessed me in giving me two terrific boys. My prayer for them is that they will always follow the Lord and make HIM #1 in their lives.
