Blessings

Early this morning I was awake after hearing my daughter wake up and my husband go to get her up for breakfast. I had a backache so I couldnt go back to sleep.

I was thinking...

I am blessed.

Not because of a backache but because I am blessed with an amazing immune system, If the only problems I suffer from are backaches (which are usually due to bad posture and picking Maddison up wrong) and a genetic eye problem. Then I truly am blessed. I should have caught Glandular Fever after my husband got sick... but I didn't. I only ever catch colds, some barely affect me, but most of the time I'm better after a week. I have never broken anything or been injured severely. I have had a few close calls but nothing really bad has happened to me.

I realise that God is really looking after me and this morning, he wanted me to see that, I Am Blessed.

I may not be living where I want to be living or have the job that I want to have or even have the husband I know that he could be. But I am blessed with amazing health even after a rough start when I was born. (thats another story)

I am blessed because I am strong in God, I have the best church family I could ever ask for. I have endurance and determination. I believe in those I love! A friend came over yesterday and she gave me a lot to think about. Nothing that hugely stands out, but just little things that matter. Which prompted me to ask Dan how he would like to bond with Maddison and when. He chose to do her morning feeds, every morning. And sure enough this morning, he followed through. Normally he would wait for me to get him up but this morning he just did it. That is commitment for him.

The little things matter. So I will speak the words that God has promised for me. That I can do all things through Him, that I am more than a conqueror. That I am created for a time such as this. I will succeed. I am a woman of strength and character. Also that I given a spirit of power, love and a sound mind.

Amen
