I thought since it seems are lives are so difficult and sometimes on the negative side. Maybe we might just start acknowledging blessings each day. Maybe this will help us keep ourselves from falling into all the negative. Like today I am blessed because I noticed my patience is getting better. I hope you all can see at least one blessing a day. Even though we have many we sometimes don't think about or see. May God Bless.
Also, I would like to count as one special blessing today to be able to learn from people like you Dusti22, who had an stroke... but still has the willingness (and the health!) to come here and share with us your blessings!
May I just point out that in things like this is where we can see God very clearly? May He continue blessing you Dusti, and us!
Now about my other blessings today, well very rough day for my mom (very tough dental work when she is also feeling bad in other aspects) and when she has an extra rough day I do too, BUT! I have to recognize the blessings gifted to me today: I’m here with her, able to hold her hand when she is going through difficult times, able to take care of her, even if I don’t do it remotely perfectly, even if I lack patience when I wish I had all the patience in the world.
Also blessed because after the dental work, she wanted to come with me to the supermarket, and although she wasn’t feeling good she was kind of into shopping and I cannot help but thinking after all we have gone through, her specially, having dealt with cancer and being 83, she still has the will, the strength to go to the supermarket with me! that show us that God is also in the small things..because He knows that for us they are big...!
Pam- So glad about your BP. Hope when Mom and Aunt will not raise it.
Dusti- Yikes a stroke, glad you are doing better, and that you look for the good during difficult times!
I am so blessed today that after a few days, of feeling so run down I am finally starting to feel better
May God bless you all in your lives as needed.
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
Joshua 1:9
Blessed to Still have a Mom as some don't. :(
My heart goes out to all those that have lost theirs.
I feel it on Fathers day, missing my Dad so much!
So much love to all this day and every!
I am grateful I was able to bring flowers to my grandmother at the cemetery. And also to have a nice dinner tonight with my sisters and mother.
Thinking of you all.
Istusc- Hope your Mothers day will be wonderful and Congrats! on the first grandchild! It is a blessing also to have a daughter in law you love. I hope you will be able to relax on your much needed days a way, and yay 5 days away.
You all have blessed me with joy, knowing how you have been blessed!
“I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.”

Blessed with 5 days away starting Monday with a bunch of friends for the first time in years. I need to re-learn how to relax.
cdn- Time does fly. So glad you will be together and enjoying a good meal. Have a wonderful day!!
I am blessed, with each new day to try and do better, than the one before.
May God bless and keep you all.
Matthew 5:6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Smeshque, so glad the difficult day has ended and He has been there every step of the way.
Today I had a blessed day with a lovely dinner with some relatives in town. My dad enjoyed it so much. Little worries I had about this and that turned out to be nothing. Thanks, Lord!
I am blessed and thankful that the Lord brought me through a difficult day.
My sight is no worse today and I was able to order groceries for us. (our grocery store has Click List so I am able to order the groceries online, pay for them and then pick them up later in the day.) Having to stay to a tight budget, but at least we will not go hungry. So I definitely feel very blessed.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Dusti- hope you get an appointment and that something can be done. I understand how scary that can feel. Will be praying for you. Hang in there.
Mama- Praise the Lord for their safe return. So glad to hear.
Blessed to have visited some elderly church members.she fell and thank the Lord nothing broke, but she is pretty sore, has to use wheelchair. He is so worried. I hope we were able to be a distraction for them for a bit.
May God bless you, and keep you.
Blessed Be!
Dusti: hooray for eyesight! Glad to hear yours is OK. Keep eating your carrots! ;)
May God bless you both and I am blessed this day, by your sharing of blessings.
I was blessed to have a nice walk with my dad this evening and a relaxing dinner. Now I am blessed to get into a warm comfortable bed.
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6
Today I was blessed in that Mom woke me up really early because she was ill. But she is feeling better now, thank the Lord.
May the Lord Jesus bless you all.
Cdnreader, hoping your mom's car repair went OK. Car troubles are the worst!
Today I was blessed by having a nice walk in the evening, and a wonderful sibling to help me so that I could get out. She was away for a few days and I really felt the weight of doing everything myself without a break. Not that my dad's care is hard exactly, but it is time-consuming. Lots of routines to get ready in the morning, to take care of his catheter, other care, getting in and out of the wheelchair, etc.... So having another person doing something is fantastic, and I am very blessed.
