Blessed Beyond Measure

I've been thinking about how to start my blog, and I realized what a great time to start, the last day of the year for 2011. Why? You might ask.. well because as I reflect over the past year, I cant help but feel overwhelmed at how much Ive been Blessed. I have a wonderful family that Ive been Blessed with, a loving husband, three great kids who bring tons of Joy to our lives. In this economy I'm Blessed that we have jobs when so many don't. I am Blessed that my God up in heaven shows grace for me and that his mercies are new every morning. I am Blessed because so many of our prayer requests that we have had this year have been ANSWERED! The more I think about this past year, the more things I find that have truly been Blessings in our lives. Isn't it funny that when we stop and think; instead of complaining, or looking at what we don't have, stop looking to why something isn't happening, but look at all the things that have happened. I think that we would all discover that we are more Blessed than any of us could imagine . I know that God has many more Blessings for us in this coming year, as he does all of you! It is in all this I found that I have so much to be thankful for.  Thanks for letting me share these Thoughts From A Grateful Heart.
