Blessed

I am a blessed woman. It feels strange to call myself that, but that is what I have become.

I have women friends who are invested in me. Not only in my life but in my faith.

They push me and challenge me to walk closer with God.

I am truly blessed to have these women in my life.

I am blessed to have a family who loves me and who seem to all be on high alert when I knock my head. (By the way, I think I am concussion free this time!)

I am blessed to be able to see God actively working in my life daily. I am blessed to see Him fixing scars and wounds I could never even hope to heal myself.

I am blessed to have a friend who sticks by me and has always been there when I have fallen to my lowest point. Who always is there to give me a hand up.

I am blessed to have been forgiven of my many failures and shortcomings, and I am blessed that God has also taught me to forgive those who have hurt me in the deepest way.

I am blessed, friends!

It is an amazing thing to count your blessings.
And as the song goes,

"If you are worried, and you can't sleep,
just count your blessings, instead of sheep,
and you'll fall asleep, counting your blessings."
