So Many Blessings!

Aren't you thankful we have so many blessings in our lives? I know I am. All too often, much more than I would like to admit, I take them for granted. Ihave been reminded lately of some wonderful things that the Lord has been doing in my life. I am preparing to go visit a couple of dear friends next week and in the process the Lord has been working out some interesting things. I was reminded about them yesterday.

My sweet husband and I went to an area food bank to get food for our small church pantry. We help anywhere from 50 to 100 people each month with food in our small town. I can't tell you what a blessing it is to be able to do that. While we were at the food bank, we found out about some of the food they had available for us free of charge. It was absolutely amazing to us! We left the food bank with 260 pounds of free meat products, meat we would normally not have available for the people who come to our pantry, meat that we would normally not be able to afford. We were almost giddy!! What a joy it was to stop on the way home and drop off small center cut pork loins to some of the elderly and single people we help out. Their lit up faces with such a wonderful piece of meat in their hands was joy enough for us!

My card today may make you wonder what it has to do with what I just told you. It reminded me how much I would like each of you to remember the small blessings that the Lord gives to us each and every day. The big ones are obvious, but we take for granted the simple ones that He lets come into our lives, simple ones like not getting all the stop lights all the way through town, finding super bargain sales to stretch our dollars and to be able to still bless others, getting a good parking space.

I stamped my card with Stazon and then water colored and distressed it. I love the image. Next to yellow roses, sunflowers are my favorite flowers. The lattice work on the side was made from a punch by Martha Stewart. The paper is all from My Mind's Eye and Creative Memories.

So my "Wish" for you is to be aware of those small blessings that come to you each and every day. Don't take them for granted. Thank the Lord for them daily and share them with someone. You never know what a blessing it might be for them to hear about it! Thanks for stopping by!
