i recently came across this necklace that reminded me- in the midst of feeling a whole host of emotions (almost to where I don't know how to feel) to focus first on my many blessings.building homes in mexico is an amazing opportunity. to provide someone with a modest home who in turn wants to use it to bless the life of others - is humbling.
we recently had a leak in our radiant floors- it emptied the entire 50 gallon system right into a drain! how lucky is that? no water damage.
my computer had a virus- nasty thing- i am feeling very blessed that i didn't lose a single thing off my computer.
work for dan has been slow. i am feeling blessed that we have a rainy day account and that i have a very flexible job at the hospital.
and just tonight i am feeling very blessed about work for dan starting to pick back up again.
annie had a new years resolution to read the scriptures. we are blessed as we gather as a family to read together.
kate's classroom helper fell and broke her ankle. kate wanted to contribute "a couple bucks" to the group gift. she gave some money from her own piggy bank. love that kate!
i recently visited some homes where people live in less that ideal situations- i came home feeling so blessed.
i am surrounded by family & friends that inspire me! make me laugh! and bless my life!
p.s. i found this necklace at the Rusted Chain a portion of the proceed will go to support the relief efforts in Haiti.
