Feeling Blessed

so incredibly blessed....

That sick feeling in the pit of my stomach is gone:)

I am feeling blessed. I love how God does that....comforts us while we struggle in those hard places...lifts us up...and before we even realize it, we move from those feelings of desperation and depression to feeling blessed.

I am blessed by our boys. Those sweet, sometimes whiny, almost always cuddly, adorable boys.

I am blessed by my husband. My patient, loving, makes the best eggs for breakfast, husband.

I am blessed by my friends. My friends who send words of encouragement, listen to my rambling, and who best of all....just love us the way we are.

But most of all...I am blessed by my Heavenly Father, who so clearly walks with us through these 'valleys' and faithfully teaches us more about Himself as we willingly (although not always that willingly) give up to Him...the things (or people) we love and value most.

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

 ¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
 ² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
 ³ he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
   for his name’s sake.
⁴ Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,^[a]
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.
 ⁵ You prepare a table before me
   in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
   my cup overflows.
⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me
   all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
   forever.

Here is a song that I have been trying to learn and sing to the boys before bed. I'm not quite there, but getting closer:). The words have meant a lot to me as I prepare to let go....
