Give Thanks With a Grateful Heart
The blessings are too numerous to tell, don't you think? I grew up on the old the hymns. We used to have hymn night at least one Sunday a month. Did anyone else have hymn night? The worship leader (a.k.a choir director) would allow individuals to call out the number of their favorite hymn. We would quickly turn in our hymnals (Remember those?) to the number that had been shouted. We would sing the first verse then eagerly await the next number. One of the favorites was always Count Your Many Blessings. (...name the one by one) I am singing the song in my head as a write.

My blessings on this Thanksgiving Eve are too numerous to tell. Can I get witness? I would be afraid to even begin to list them as I might leave something out. But I will list one that is at the top: my husband's health. If you have followed my the story you are familiar with my husband's battle with the an unknown health problem for over 2 years. One year ago this month, in a "hail mary" effort, Scott went to the Mayo clinic for tests in hopes of a diagnosis and treatment. Many from near and far covered us in prayers. God heard and with great mercy answered those prayers and today, Scott's eye infection is stabilized and he his receiving treatment for RA. He is now enjoying good health and new appreciation for life.

Yes, today I have many blessings to count and give thanks with a grateful to my Lord and Savior for His constant attention to my life.

Hear and join in my worship:

I am with ya sister! Oh the blessings that the Lord has bestowed upon me. As one who does battle with a health problem I can relate to being thankful for what the Lord does provide us. HE is so GOOD! I am praising God with you that your husband is doing better and that he has been able to find an answer to his health problems.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.

I did a little shopping with the other loony birds on Firday morning!! (No, I didn't get up at 2:30--just 6!) Lifeway--opened at 7am-- was my first stop. I purchased the Chronological Bible--on sale!- for the Bible study that will be getting started soon! I am SO excited! Thank you for listening to GOd and obeying Him in this. I can't wait!
Hugs,
