Blessings...Many

Such blessings in my life. So many I couldn't possible list them all but here are the few that are the most important to me.

I have the love of God. Without that nothing else would really matter. He loved me from the moment I was conceived, I believe that with all my heart. He loved me when I didn't love Him. He loved me when I was my worst person I could be. He has blessed me so much and so often I can't even begin to list all the ways He has been good to me. I don't deserve it. Thank God that is not the way it works. He just asks that I accept the wonderful gift of salvation He has given and live my life for Him. Such a simple plan, don't know why it took me so long to understand it.

I have a wonderful family. Start with my husband. Bob is my best friend. I have lived and loved most of my life with him and can't imagine life without him. He was 18 and I was 15 when we got married. He had already been helping take care of his family, ever since he was 5 and his dad got sick with brain cancer. It is in every fiber of his being to take care of his family. He has always taken care of me and our children and now his grandchildren and he does a great job of that too, even if he wants to "fix" everything for everybody. It's a blessing, it's a curse. LOL

My four wonderful kids. Lynn, Alicia, David and Julie. Each one so different from the others and a blessing, each in their own ways. I love them all. I am not going to describe their personalities because that is something I just want to know to myself. Personalities change through the years also, and what I might write here might not be accurate in a week, a month or whenever.

My sons-in laws and daughter-in-law. Jason, Scott and Amy. They are my kids. I feel that is a special blessing from God that my kids are sharing their lives with people who could have been born into our family because they "fit" in our family so well. I thank God for these kids of mine.

My grandchildren. Kyle, Jessi, Danielle, Courtney, Hayden, Garrett, Emmett, Makenna, Avery and Caiden. What can I say? PURE LOVE. I love all these kids soooo much, it makes my eyes tear up and my chest hurt I love them so much. They are my everything.
