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!

52 Blessings Week 16

This week I am blessed because with friends...both near and far. I am blessed to have friends I have known for 30 years and friends I've only known for a year or so. I am also blessed to have reconnected with many friends on Facebook! Sometimes the internet is a good thing! :) I thank God for my friends! Without them and God I wouldn't be who I am today.

52 Blessings Week 15

This week my blessing is the fact that Jesus gave His life for ME! I am in awe of how much God loves me and was willing to send His Son to earth to die for my sins. AND, that Jesus was willing to do it! How can I not serve Him? We should never forget what Jesus did for us on that first Easter over 2000 years ago.!

52 Blessings Week 14

This week's blessing is the fact that we got to take a vacation to southern California. We were blessed to have great friends who let us stay with them. Thank you to Dennis and Lynn Barrett and to Mel and Linda Loucks for opening their homes to us. It was more than appreciated!
We had a beautiful week in Escondido at the Welk Resort. It was so great to enjoy God's creation (and beautiful weather!) and be away from the "daily grind". I was able to spend more time in the Word and I also got caught up on His Holy Name Challenges from Faith Sisters!

It was a great week, and I am thankful for safe travels to and from California!

52 Blessings Week 13

My blessing for this week is my friends. I have a very dear friend named Diane, who I got to see this week (March 27 & 28). She means a lot to me, and it was really great to see her. She blesses me by just being my friend. She did something really nice and unselfish for me, and for that, I will be eternally grateful. She made my life a little easier...thank you, Diane!
I have another friend named Dodie that I also got to see on the 28th...thanks to my friend Diane for driving me up to see her! She has such a talent for organization and I'm always learning new things from her. She also has deep spiritual insite to so many things. I am so thankful for her friendship.
These friends were seen because we took a trip to southern California for a week's vacation.
