My Favorite Things...

Back in November, I did a challenge on Facebook. The challenge was simple: Make your status about something you are thankful for everyday. I will admit, this was challenging. Often times, Satan gets a hold of me and makes me into a negative person. Growing up in church and children's choir we learn to sing a song, "Count your blessings, name them one by one." Well naming my blessings one by one was/is difficult. I was amazed at trying to count 30 blessings (a different one each day). But, I knew that about half way through, Satan wanted me to NOT see the blessings that GOD placed in my life. I am composing a list, along with pictures of my blessings.

Now I know, the title says My Favorite Things. I want to stop and ask you, aren't your favorite things blessings as well? Each area/picture holds a special favorite memory/moment in it as well. This is by no means a list of everything that I am blessed with. This is a quickly compiled list. 1. Family: Now I know I do not have pictures of every family member, but hopefully this gives you the idea. (Pictures below: Me & Jason, Me & My Aunt Betty, Me & my Momma, Me & Jaydon).

2. Creativity: Some of the creative projects (Picture: Edible Arrangement my sister and I made, hearts made of cream pulled candy, Wedding Program I designed, Magnolia Tree Blossom made from sea shells, and a quilt I made my best friend).

3. Friends: Once again I will not be able to add all my friends...but I hope you get the idea. (Me, Sarah, Abi, Courtney & Samantha...Sarah, Me, Abi & Courtney....Me, Erica, & Samantha). Unfortunately, about a year ago my computer crashed and I lost most of my pictures...these are still good!

I give praise to God for His is the One who gives and takes away. Do you stop and thank God for all He has given to you?

Dear Lord, You are the One who knows my needs. Daily You are the one who provides for me. Thank you for your blessings. May my life be a blessing to someone else. Amen.
