Blessed

Thought for the day:
Just as I was enjoying the beautiful weather outside this morning, I began thinking about all the wonderful things God has blessed us with. As much as I sometimes don't enjoy my job, I am so thankful for it. I love thinking about how God provides for us everyday of the week, 24-7, no matter what. There is no way I could ever count the number of times He has helped me through hard times, loss os loved ones, financial distress, or deperessing events in my life. As I try to remember all of the sick and loved ones on my ever growing prayer list...I try to remember to thank Him for all that he has already done for us! I am so blessed with a great family, real friends, a handsome son, and wonderful husband, stable job, nice home and car...just to name a few. But most of all I'm thankful for His grace and for my church family.
Let's all remember what he tells us in Psalm 121 "1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
If we trust in Him, He WILL take care of us. Be blessed everyone! Love you all!

Please start at the bottom for wedding pictures somehow (because I'm new at all of this blogging stuff) they were posted backwards. It confused me suprise, suprise. Anyways, it will make more sense if you look from bottom to top, and there are 2 pages. Thanks.

Look into my eyes...

you will see....what you mean to me....

search your heart, search your soul....

And when you find me there, you'll search no more...Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for You know it's true, Everything I do-I do it for you! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh Yeah!

I loved her first, I held her first and a place in my heart will always be hers from the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me, I knew the love of a father runs deep and I prayed that she find you some day but it's still hard to give her away...I loved her first.

Have I told you lately that I love you? Have I told you there’s no one else above you?

Fill my heart with gladness, Take away all my sadness, Ease my troubles that’s what you do...
