Counting my Blessings

Looking back on all of my past blog entries I discovered a common denominator.

The lack of Joy.

I have so many reasons to praise the Lord. So much to appreciate. So many reasons to fall on my face before the Lord weeping with a thankful heart.

So this is my Christmas blog contribution (following the theme of the 12 days of Christmas).

The 12 things I am thankful for today, and in no particular order......



1.) My Salvation

(No visual needed )


2.) Being a part of the Yorimitsu family



3.) Being her Mommy

4.) Being His Wife


5.) Having a roof over my head

6.) Being Auntie Megan to these two


7.) Being her sister


8.) Having a job when so many don't


9.) Having enough food to eat, and family to eat it with

10.) Having friends who love me


11.) Being loved by My Husband

 
12.) Jesus


As cliche as it sounds... Jesus really is the reason for the season. Without Him I would have none of these things in my life to thank Him for.

Merry Christmas & God Bless!

  1. Those are all great things to be thankful for! Great idea for a blog post as well--with Christmas coming on the heels of Thanksgiving it's sometimes easy to forget to be thankful on Christmas (as if having the attitude, "hey, we already did the thankfulness thing"). I like it.

    Number 12 says it all.

    Merry Christmas and God bless you too.

    Your Hubby,

    Darryl
