Today, a few of those blessings I counted...
a wonderful soccer season for our youngest, with the best coach ever (yes, I am partial, the coach is my husband after all!)
planting tender new plants, which we had grown from seed, in our garden
eating freshly harvested, from our garden, mixed greens for dinner
hosta budding
a daughter, who was feeling a bit left out and friendless two months ago, had two birthday party invites within a few weeks
ability to send two children to camp this summer
an annual upcoming extended family trip to an amusement park
a tree flowering in our backyard
my husband setting up the hammock in our backyard under the flowering tree for us to take an afternoon nap together
While the incident I shared yesterday, still stings, I am choosing to focus on the larger picture of my life. So, for these and so many more blessings, I give thanks!

Thanks for your kind words and visiting, Michy!
DeleteYou are right. The bigger picture is what matter.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I was upset about something. But in the big picture it will be okay...even if today still stings.
Perspective does help me immensely, but can be so hard to get to on my own. Thankfully, the Lord does not keep us in the pits of despair, but lifts us up to see.
DeleteYes - give thanks in the little everyday things - and know that He has a plan for you :)
ReplyDeleteI have some hostas here if you would like them...they are not my favorite, but I can't seem to get rid of them!
Definitely grateful for His plan!
DeleteAnd, you are too funny about the hosta. I use to not care for it as well, until it was all I could get to grow in this one spot in our yard. Now, since I can't seem to harm it, and it is flourishing, I like 'em :-)
