Blessing # 15

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 # 15 - Today's blessing is my monthly book club.  I love to read and talk about books with others, but especially with my book club gals.  There are 11 of us and I look forward to seeing them each month and catching up on our lives, sharing books we have read, and enjoying good food! Tonight we planned our Christmas party and had a great time.  Book club always seems to come at the perfect time each month.....just what I need.....a little fix from the gals!

Blessing #14 - I am so blessed that I have a warm home, with plenty of food, clothing, and essentials.  If we need groceries, I get them.  If my children need socks, I go buy them. I am well aware that not everyone has that ability.  So, I am blessed that my husband's job provides what our family needs.

Blessing #13 - Today I am blessed to have such a large family.  Today my mom and her 4 sisters got together with all their children and grandchildren and celebrated Christmas.  Every year we get together and make food, share stories of our past year, play games (scrabble), exchange gifts, and laugh A LOT!  I know how lucky I am to have a family that can still get together and celebrate.  There can be over 70 of us if we are all there!  I love how my kids are now close to my cousin's children and how excited they are to get together with them, just like I was so excited to get together with my cousins as a child.

Blessing #12 - Today we were blessed with a day off from school which allowed us to travel early to my parents' home for the weekend.  We are having a family Christmas this weekend and we left this morning to drive up and get everything ready for the day.  We swam in the pool at the hotel, ate lots of food and spent time with family today.

Blessings #11 - Today I am blessed that we live in a free country and that thousands of men and women have fought for our freedom.  Today our school put on their annual Veteran's Day program and as always, it was a wonderful way to honor our local Veterans.  This year my parents we able to come as well, and I was proud to sit with my dad during the program.  He is a Veteran of the Korean War and served in the Army.  I am so proud that our school takes the time to honor Veterans and instill that importance in the children.  The entire school comes together to put on the program and it is definately something to see.
