November Blessings #10

On November 1st, the saying on my calendar was


November is the time to count our many blessings - name them one by one.

So, I am going to do just that. I am going to take one blessing from each day. Something that really blessed me that day, not just a blessing in general, and write it out here. Sometimes we ignore the little blessings and that is what I am going to look for each day.

Blessing #10 - Tonight after subbing at the high school and then helping at our after school program at church, my dear husband brought supper home! I didn't have to do one bit of cooking and it was from one of my favorite places too!  I appreciate it when he realizes when I need a night off!

Blessing #8 - Having the time to run to the outlet mall this morning and get a few more Christmas presents knocked off my list!  Right now I feel like I have to grab every spare hour I have to keep working at that list.  The extra blessing was it wasn't busy at all!  No lines, no cranky store staff, and no cranky customers! 

Inspiration for the Day

Blessing #7 - In the last day our community has lost a 15 year old girl to a tragic accident and our dear 80 year old neighbor to a brief battle with cancer.  It is times like this that you appreciate life, appreciate our Savior who gave us a never-ending life with Him, appreciate our loved ones, and remember to say "I Love You" to those who mean the most to us.  Today, I am blessed beyond all measure.
