Count Your Many Blessings . . . Name Them One by One!

Or one could state, "Count Your Many Blessings . . . List Them One By One. Keep in line with our Thanksgiving Adventure theme, I've decided to enumerate the various blessings we received today.

>()>  Our upstairs bathroom floor is scheduled to be repaired and a new floor put down Saturday. We're thrilled. Pray for a good color. :)

>()>  We do Freecycle. Received office supply items from a sister-in-Christ who I met several months ago. As I walked up her sidewalk, she held out her arms and gave me a huge hug. Was surprised but deeply touched by her kindness.

>()>  Was able to bless another person on Freecycle with some Christian books which also included a brand new Bible that Rob had received when he was at The Cove for training last year. This person will be giving these items to her friend out in Colorado in a few weeks. 

>()>  At the library, Christine asked if we could check out the VHS, "Pocahontas, Her True Story. We looked at the downstairs rack and was unable to locate it. On her second time looking, Christine found it and was very joyous in her discovery. A side note, our dear friends down in Chesterfield are descendants of Pocahontas.

>()>  Christine was able to use her Qdoba gift from Mrs. Swauger, her CC Tutor. :)

>()>  Was able to drop off some Dr. Sears' baby books along with a Grace Ketterman book to Bethany Christian services. This made me feel good knowing these books that I had used when Christine was a baby would some how help new moms or adoptive moms now.  I felt like I was walking on air after I dropped them off.

>()>  Christine reviewed the majority of her CC Memory Work while we did errands. I said, "wow that was quick and accurate." Her quick reply was, "yes, Mom that is what CC kids do." Oh we're quite please and proud of her desire to learn. Thankful we were able to utilize our time in the car while doing errands. 

<()>  Was able to get family Thanksgiving cards in the mail.  Had purchase a set last year but was unable to mail them. Delighted that God allowed me to find them last week while looking for another item.  God's timing is always perfect!

>()>  Specific and quick answers to pray while shopping for items for our Thanksgiving dinner. We're aiming to eat more healthier, thus creativity comes into play. Likewise, extra patience on Christine's part as I read labels and compare prices.

>()>  Able to surprise Rob with some hot chocolate tonight at work. He had a busy night being the only salesman in the Mazda building.

>()>  Thankful we were able to express what we're thankful while traveling about doing our errands today.  Thankful we were able to accomplish what we had set out to do and God provided safe travel all day.

It's late so I must conclude this posting. Yet will continue to "Count My Blessings, Name Them One by One!"

Jesus, we just want to thank You!
