We got home on Saturday afternoon from the Emerald Isle, NC. Today it is back to work and I will find out when I get there if today or tomorrow is my last day. Then I get to clean my house…remember last Monday’s post?
The blessings just seem to pour out from God’s hands…at times I am so overwhelmed. Just about the time I think I am going to “lose it”…He steps in. He picks me up. He reminds me…“for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.” He will help me today. He will help me tomorrow. He will help always. I just need to let him!
Thank you Lord for this beautiful promise in the book of Isaiah. Thank you for all the blessings. Thank you for the much needed rain, for keeping Wendy and her family safe in the storm, for all that you have done for me.
Being thankful and actually writing down some of these things is a great reminder of all my blessings. It is also a great way to start my week. If you would like to read other gratitude lists or join the gratitude community, hop on over to Ann’s place. You do not have to have a blog, you can join privately, keeping your gratitude journal just for you. Either way…it is such a blessing to list our blessings!!
What are YOU thankful for this week?

Good morning. I have enjoyed wandering around your blog. Your list reflects a full life; full of His blessings and full of praise acknowledging His divine gifts. Have a great week!
Thank you for visiting this morning 🙂
The "memories that seem so long ago & yet just yesterday" are from Kauai- as we hiked the Na Pali Coast.
Once again I have enjoyed your gifts. Thank you for sharing.
What a timely Word… oh, to always trust Him for His strength!
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
2 Peter 1:2
Thank you for your list this morning! The words are just what I need to hear – "He will help always." Needing to hear that today.
Mary,
Thank you for the reminder that He is the wings beneath us and the strength that sustains us always. I have to agree with you…counting our blessings is a life changing experience!
Praying for you today.

Another week of wonderful blessings He poured out on you, Mary! Thank you so much for the scripture, too. It is the THIRD time today it has been placed before my husband and I!!! So we are listening 🙂
