Blessing #52

I am blessed that Todd was able to make it here safely for Christmas. When I look at him and see how God has formed him into what he is today, I just marvel at how he has come from a tiny pre-mature baby of 3 lbs 12 oz and has truly become a wonderful young man. I know God has wonderful things in store for him, if he just follows God's leading.

The sad part of Christmas was that our oldest son, Tim wasn't able to be with us, but am thankful that he still has a job and will be moving into a house with a friend or two where he'll have more room.

God has been good this year, and I'm looking forward to what He has in store for me in 2010!

I know I didn't keep up with this every week like it was intended to be, but I'm thankful I at least finished this challenge this year. Thank you, LouAnn for challenging us!

Blessing #51

I am blessed to be another year older and in good health. When I think about having lived 58 years, it boggles my mind that I have lived this long! I pray that God will continually lead me and direct me in the path He wants me to go.

Blessing #50

I am blessed to be teaching 3 year-olds this year. I never thought I would like teaching such young ones, but they have truly been a blessing to me. Watching them perform in the Christmas program was such a delight. God always knows what He's doing even when we think "what??" Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with these little ones.

Blessing #49

I am blessed to be able to be in a Beth Moore Bible Study. This study we started in October is on Esther. I have taught Esther as a 4th grade teacher for 15 years, but there is always something new to learn. I love learning new things from God's Word. I am thankful that they are having a study on Wednesday evenings so I could be a part of it.

Blessing #48

I am blessed because I love to read, and because of that I am in a Book Club and I really enjoy meeting together with them once a month. They have introduced me to books I would never have read on my own. I am thankful that I have this love of reading (Christian novels mostly!).

Blessing #47

I am blessed and thankful to still have both my mom and my dad with me and that I am able to live close to them. Since we moved up to Washington in 2006, it's been great to be only a few houses away from them and able to see them often. It was nice to have them along with my brother and uncle and his friend here for Thanksgiving as well. God is good!
