Blessing #35

I am blessed to be able to have scrapbooking at our Mobile Home Park each month. It is always fun to get together with others and scrapbook. It is sometimes just 2 of us, but sometimes as many as 6 or 7. I love having this time to be able to scrapbook and get to know my friends. God has blessed me with many friends!

Blessing #34

I am blessed to have friends who come to visit. I was afraid that when I moved up to Washington, I would eventually lose contact with them and possibly not see them again. But, my friend, Marilee (for real!), comes to see me when she comes up to Oregon to see her sister and her dad. It's always great to catch up with her. I am glad that I am able to take her to the airport, or pick her up from the airport, and also take her down to Woodburn to meet her sister. It is a blessing!

Blessing #33

I am blessed to have friends that I've known for 33 years. Going to the Cudahy Reunion, I was able to see many friends who I have not seen for several years. We are like family, and it was like we had not been apart at all. God has blessed those who attended Cudahy Community Church, and I am blessed to be part of that group since 1976.

Blessing #32

Blessing #32 is my friend, Diane. Because of her I was able to fly to LA and attend our Cudahy Reunion (my former church from the 80s). She is such a blessing to me. She has been a true friend for many years, and I truly appreciate our friendship. I pray God will bless her many times over!

Blessing #31

I am blessed because I was having a problem getting my rebate that I was supposed to get with new cell phone. I was afraid I wasn't going to get the $50 gift card promised because I got a rejection letter. BUT, I went to the AT&T place where I bought my new phone, and they re-entered my information, and a few weeks later, I received the $50 GC! God is so good, even in the small things! (but it was really a BIG thing to me!)

Blessing # 30

I am so far behind on my weekly blessings (again). BUT...I am still blessed, so I will attempt to come up with all my blessings since July 21!

I am blessed because I was able to go to our Jennings Lodge Camp/Conference. When I was growing up, going to Jennings Lodge was always a great time. The evening services are such a blessing...the singing, the preaching...all of it. It is a little sad that it is no longer "camp" but more of a conference time. But, at least the evening services are still good! I pray that we will always have Jennings Lodge.

52 Blessings #29

After a wonderful trip to DC and NYC, I came home to participate in our Community Yard Sale on Saturday. Crazy! But, I was blessed to have a fairly good sale, thanks to the baseball cards and CD's my husband was willing to sell! It was a blessing to make as much money as we did.

52 Blessings #28

I cannot believe I actually was able to visit New York City! I know, to many it is not something one would want to do, but I had always wanted to visit the city and "experience it". Well, I did! In a day and a half, I saw quite a bit of the Big Apple. I was blessed to have my son, Todd as a tour guide! He made the trip wonderful! Thank you, Todd!

52 Blessings #27

I am very blessed to be an American. Being in our nation's capital on the 4th of July was truly a blessing. God Bless America!

52 Blessings #26

I am very blessed that I am able to go to DC and visit my son. The weather was perfect and it was a wonderful trip. Visiting The Holocaust Museum made me realize just how much God's people have suffered. We should never forget the injustice done and never let it be repeated.

52 Blessings #25

Since I am so far behind, I'm now must numbering my blessings instead of by the week!
My blessing is my son, Todd. It looked like I wasn't going to be able to go to New York because my "Plan A" and "Plan B" fell through. BUT...my son, Todd told me he would take a couple of days off work and go up there with me! I was really touched that he would do that for me, because he knew how much I wanted to go to New York! Thank you, God for giving me a son like Todd!

52 Blessings Week 24

My blessing this week is that God has blessed my eBay sales! I had a very good week selling 24 of my books. I am thankful that God is blessing this venture of mine.

52 Blessings Week 23

This week's blessing is that I have been blessed with getting a lot of subbing jobs this year. Even though we're still struggling financially, it's been great to be able to work nearly every day this school year. God is faithful!

52 Blessings Week 22

This week my blessing would have to be our Sunday School class. Today we had a class picnic at the park. It was so fun to see each other outside of class, and I really think we got to know each other better. Other than seeing several of the ladies at our newly developed Book Club, we don't really get together outside of class. I pray that we will have more "social events" in the future!

52 Blessings Week 21

This week my blessing is that I am actually making my plans to go to DC and visit my son! AND...I am also planning a trip to NYC thanks to the help of my friend, Kim! It is so exciting to think I actually will get to see my son and where he works, but I'll also get to see New York City! This has been a dream of mine for many years. I am just thankful to God that it's finally coming to be. I'm also thankful that my son, Todd, is actually looking forward to seeing me! :)

52 Blessings Week 20

Well, I am a week behind, but I'd have to say that my blessing for last week would be getting to fly over SW Washington with my brother! He took me around Mt. St. Helens. It was a beautiful day, and the mountain was spectacular. It is truly amazing viewing God's creation from up in an airplane. God really knew what He was doing when He created this beautiful world for us to enjoy. Thank you, Jim, for allowing me to see the beautiful scenery from above!

52 Blessings--Week 19

This week my blessing is my mom. She has been an incredible person throughout my life. Even though we haven't always seen eye-to-eye, we still love each other very much. She has been a real role model to me as far as being a great homemaker and living "within her means". I don't know how she managed to stay out of debt even though as I grew up, we didn't have a lot of money. But, we never really suffered. She has made entertaining seem "easy" (even though she says she hates to entertain!) I cannot even begin to entertain as well as she has. Thanks, Mom, for being a great role model in my life! I love you!

52 Blessings Week 18

This past week I was still down, but thanks to my good friend, and a lot of prayer, I am coming out of my "funk". Problems are still there, but with God's help and being surrounded by friends who pray, I know that things will be better. Thank you, God for giving me friends to pray for me and be there for me!

It seems that my blessings have been my friends a lot lately! Friends are a good thing :)

52 Blessings Week 17

This past week was kind of a downer week for me...I was letting "life" get me down. BUT...then I remembered that I have a Friend who never fails and HE is with me and will never let me down. I am blessed to be a child of God. I am thankful that I have friends who gives me Scripture to get me through my "tough" times!
