Blessed.

I’m in a funk this afternoon. I think I’m tired. I think it’s side effects from a medicine I’m on. I think it’s the weather outside. Figured I’d see if blogging would help me feel better.

As I’m sitting here thinking, and praying over several pertinent things in my life right now, I am reminded of some things that I am thankful for…

*I’m thankful for my sweet husband. Most of the time I don’t tell him how thankful I am for him and how hard he works for our family. He works all day and comes home and works hard at home, too. He always remembers to tell me I’m pretty, even on the days, I know for a fact, I am not. He is always thinking of me and my needs before his own.

*I’m thankful for Reese. Although, I wasn’t too thankful this afternoon after I picked her up from preschool and she was crying over every.little.thing that didn’t go right…I had to remember, she made me what I always wanted to be: a mommy. And I have to remember she’s three and throwing fits is normal. I treasure the precious time I have with her…life is going by way too fast.

*I’m thankful I only have to work 2 days per week. I know, I know, I know I COMPLAIN about working those two days but I need to remember that Clay is working harder so that I only have to work that much. Thankful that the other days, I can spend time with my baby, keep our home and be a wife  

*I’m thankful for my family. For loving me just like I am. For always willing to help out when needed.

*I’m thankful for my friends. I prayed for a long time the Lord would place lifelong, dear friends in my life that would be like-minded and love Jesus and who are raising their family according to the Bible. The Lord has placed some sweet sweet friends in my life. In fact, this morning, lots of them were in my home having coffee and breakfast with me this morning.

On days like today, I really need to come back to this post and be reminded of how blessed I am. In the midst of heartache after heartache, I am blessed.
