Thankful to have JESUS in my heart and in my life!
So many things are hard to go through. I’m not the only one out there with heartaches. I just realize how thankful I am to have JESUS CHRIST in my heart holding onto me and in my life guiding me. I’m so thankful I am REALLY TRULY NEVER ALONE even when I FEEL LIKE IT! I’m so blessed to be able to talk to him at any time. I don’t have to worry about calling and getting no answer… or having to leave a message. ~smile~ The Lord is my strength. I am also blessed with these three little ones who adore their Mommy and keep me going day after day! Even when I am bursting with sadness, they bring me SOOOOOO much JOY, SO MUCH LOVE! When I think life is too hard to deal with and I want to go to bed and sleep away my day, they are always right there waiting for Mommy and that lifts me up so much. They give me a huge reason to get up, cheer up and keep going. What an enormous blessing God has given to me. Praising Him in the hard times isn’t so hard after all, it makes it easier. A Thankful Mommy… with a bit of a broken heart…. but knowing The One who holds the pieces of it together!!

When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Refrain:
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.
When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings—wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
Ohhh how much I love that song!
