Count your blessings...

The song we learn as little children. Rings true today as it did yesterday, possibly more so.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings see what God hath done..

This year has been a year that with each blessing I say, "Thank you, Lord. You give me a blessing, I'll count it." Our blessings add up, everyday.

Friday we took the boys sled-riding. It was very late in the evening. We had the hill all to ourselves. Just my family of 6. Little Luke decided he would go down the hill by himself. He ended up sliding down part of the hill face first.

I heard him crying and immediately ran to him. His nose was bleeding, his face bleeding and getting puffy. All in all, he ended up just fine. A little bruised/scabbed but just fine and healthy. That is a blessing, because we know that this could have been worse. You give me a blessing Lord, I'll count it and Praise YOUR Holy name.

Here's the results of Luke's little accident:



Have a BLESSED day!
