I Am Blessed

The things I am thankful for...

my loving supportive family (and soon to be family), having a car, a great education at a wonderful University, the amazing friends I've made here, the sunshine today, the birds singing me to class, the coffee before class, shoes to keep my feet dry (www.onedaywithoutshoes.com), a laptop, Christmas lights in April, my roommate who might as well be my sister separated at birth, my beloved Jefferson, legs to run and hurdles to jump over, trainers to help my legs feel better, books, my comfy bed, the opportunity to buy a house, Easter and all that it stands for (not the bunnys but Jesus rising from the dead), chocolate chip cookies, the RA team, giggles, prayer time with Jeff, happy little goldfish on my desk, the USA and the freedoms she gives, and while i could go on and on and on it all comes down to how grateful and blessed i am to be a Child of God, saved by grace and forgiven (yes, i'm a sinner).

Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with so much! But most of all, thank you for sending Jesus to pay my price, to die for me and be raised again so that i to can be raised to heaven and be with you. Thank you that you want to be in a relationship with me, that you walk with me and guide me daily. How amazing you are! You love me! ME! Just this is blessing enough, but you still pour love into my life. May i never forget to give you the glory, Lord. Help me to be a light for you; help me to love like you.

 Amen
