I am Blessed...

I am a night blogger.
I blog with everyone tucked away in bed, a quiet house.
As I sit here tonight my thoughts go directly to thankfulness. Our family is so blessed.

When I open my fridge, this is what I see:

Being the Mrs. Preacher Man in a small town equals lots of home grown eggs. This is sooo wonderful because we use a lot of eggs around this household! I am blessed.

When I open my eyes each morning, this is what I see:

A wonderfully thoughtful Preacher Man, who gave the ornery Princess a bath while I watched American Idol. I am blessed.

When I get frustrated because picking up after a two-year old seems endless, this is what I see:

A sea of baby dolls. More than any little girl truly ever needs. I am blessed.

Now, I do not equate "things" as a significance of being blessed, but this was a small portion how I could express what I am feeling tonight.

As I process my day and all that goes on...
As I consider the good health of my family...

As I see the ways the Lord is continually working in our lives...
As I physically see prayers being answered....

As I dig into God's Word and dive into His precious truths...

I just have so much to be thankful for.

And, tonight I am just that...
Truly thankful.

No petty frustrations.
No excitng new recipes.
No toddler hilarities.
Just pure thankfulness.

Thankful that I am a mommy.
Thankful that I have food.
Thankful for my Preacher Man.
Thankful that I have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Thankful that He sacrificed His life for me.
Thankful for His Precious Word.

Thankful.
