T13- Ways in Which I am Blessed

Posted October 25th, 2007 by MamaArcher 9 Comments »

It was brought to my attention last week that my post seemed more like complaining rather than taken in the spirit of humor. I do believe it is a false picture of Christianity to show that things are always going great without admitting to the struggles and frustrations we face. However, the post last week was intended to be lighthearted. It was suggested to me that I offer a list blessings, so today that is what I will do.

13 Ways in which I am Blessed
  1. God has given me an amazing, godly, loving, hard-working, self-sacrificing husband.
  2. I am blessed beyond measure with my 8 children.
  3. I am able to worship the Lord Jesus Christ without fearing for my life.
  4. I am legally able to do what God has called me to do in raising, teaching, and training my children by being able to home educate them without secular, atheistic, & humanistic influence.
  5. We have access to medical care.
  6. The Lord has blessed us by giving us several children after a reversal.
  7. We live in a beautiful home that we fit in!
  8. We do not go hungry.
  9. We have several godly friends to encourage us.
  10. My children are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ
  11. I live in a beautiful country in which the creation displays the glory of God.
  12. I am able to blog and share what the Lord teaches me through His Word.
  13. We have two vehicles in good working order.
Please leave a comment and share a blessing or two you have received or something for which you would like to give thanks!

    What a beautiful list! I have three children and don’t know how you do it with eight but yes, you are definitely blessed. Thanks for visiting my blog. Happy TT!

    You have many blessings and I am sure many more than listed. I agree with your statement before the list, about the false picture. Life isn’t a bed of roses, and as humans we get tired, frustrated and whatnot, and we have a sense of humour too. Great list. Thanks for visiting.

    What a wonderful blog you have. I’m so glad I visited today.

    I am grateful for some new friends the LORD has graciously put in my path.

    I am grateful my husband could work from home this morning because he had time to talk to me and help me sort out some things on my heart.

    I’m grateful for visiting here and the gentle reminder to focus on all the good things. I try to do this–but we all have days when we are more successful than others. No going it alone.

    Have a blessed day!

    Julie

    This is such a great list. Too often I feel people don’t realize all the blessing in their lives. I count mine every day!

    Lovely list! There is always more to be grateful for in our lives than to complain about, of that I am convinced!
