Blessings

Have you counted your blessings lately? If you have trouble coming up with any (or many) read Psalm 103 and you'll be reminded. I'm sure that if I actually sat down with a piece of paper to write down all my blessings, I'd have to get out several sheets of paper. Do I remember that all of the time? No. Sometimes I get sidetracked, like anyone else, and think about "poor 'ole me". Today, however, I choose to think about blessings. Sunshine is definitely near the top of my list today.

Last night my little Levi (OK, so he's 7 and not so little anymore) blessed me BIG time! When I went to pick him up from AWANA he was pretty excited. It was "store night" and the kids got to spend all the points they had earned on prizes from the store. Levi had a small Lego set along with his Bible and AWANA handbook in his right hand. His left hand was clutching the back of his vest. I admired the Lego set that he got from the store and he told me that he also got something else but that I couldn't see it. So he walked all the way out to the car with his left hand concealing something under the back of his vest. When we got to the car he told me that he also chose something for me! He presented me with a case for my iPod. He said that when he saw it in the store he thought that I would like it since I have an iPod. He spent 30 of his 101 points to get it for me. That was certainly a blessing. (Some of you have also recently been recipients of his generosity, so you know what it's like.) He sure does like to give things to people.



It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL here this afternoon. I got outside with my camera and took LOTS of photos of tulips, both mine and the neighbors'. Today's photo was taken at my neighbors' house, they have orange, yellow and red tulips, colors that I don't typically grow. You can look forward to seeing more of the tulip photos.

Blessings,

Sharon
