I am so glad to be back into a routine after struggling with illness for over a week. Thank you for your patience with the posts as I took a little break to heal and then wrote with a vengeance over the weekend. Back on track, I am so thankful to be doing the mundane things that required so much work a week ago. Here’s my grateful report:
11. A healthy body that allows me to work and help others;
12. Garbage disposal that saves me so much time while cooking in the kitchen;
13. Patient husband, who tripped and stumbled over the piles of toys, clothes, and shoes that cluttered our house during my stay in the recliner;
14. Cool weather and lots of sunshine, so my kids could play outside away from the germs;
15. Friends, who prayed and checked on me during my illness;
16. My husband’s supervisor, who understood when Paul needed to take our son to school and arrive at work a little late;
17. Comforting words from the Scriptures to uplift my spirit;
18. My youngest daughter’s little hands sneaking up to tickle me;
19. Help from my oldest daughter matching the socks from the clean load of laundry;
Concentrating on finding the matching socks
20. My son’s quick wake-up in the mornings to get ready for school;
21. The uncontrollable laughter and giggling of my children before bedtime;
22. Thanking our Lord for our family while praying together each night; and
23. Wonderful Readers, like you, who keep me accountable.
Reflecting back to count my blessings encourages me as I see the progress made in the last few days. I may not be as far along on my To Do list as I would like, but thankfully, I am not where I started last week. Baby steps while using time wisely will help us reach those goals. Just remember to count your blessings along the way.
