As a single mother of three, I have been blessed beyond measure. I don't often take inventory of the blessings I've been given. Today, I'm going to take a minute to reflect on all that I have to be thankful for. This is a very random list:
- First and foremost, faith in God
- Jesus' death which atoned for my sins
- A good job that allows me to stay out of the welfare trap
- Three beautiful and healthy children
- Youngest son overcoming his speech disorder
- Oldest son coming through neurosurgery (7 years ago)
- Daughter overcoming her asthma condition
- A roof over my head
- The ability to turn on the heat when I'm cold and not worry about the expense
- A car to drive that fits my whole family comfortably
- The bad relationships which allow me to realize how blessed I am to have Damion in my life
- The Lord guiding me to the Catholic Church and all the people that have since inspired me to be a better Christian
- Catholic radio and all it's programming
- The brokenness that is bringing me healing
- Friends who care unconditionally
- My family
- My great-aunt Sue - a strong Catholic who gives me encouragement
- Plenty of food and good water to drink
- Being born in a free country
The list, of course, could go one forever... but these are a few things that came to my mind today.
What great things has The Almighty done for you?
