As I sit here in my rocking chair near the warmth of the glowing fire, I am feeling blessed. Last year, we were walking on plywood trying to keep warm without any insulation. This year, we have new floors and cozy rooms. It took hard work, but the reward is a lovely home where we can relax as a family.
Yes, we have a nice roof over our heads, a fridge and pantry with plenty of food, fresh water to drink, warm clothes to wear, and the fellowship of good neighbors. Even though these things are wonderful, it’s the gift of salvation that makes me feel most blessed this Christmas afternoon.
I am thankful that I am married to a man who has a strong faith in God; a man who puts his family first after the Lord; a man who leads his family in a way that is honoring to the Lord. Yes, this is a blessing to both Munchkin and myself. Munchkin has a solid role model of what to look for in a husband one day.
I am grateful that my daughter and husband enjoy spending time goofing around together. I can’t help but to smile when I hear their laughter and teasing. The dogs rest near me while occasionally getting up to check on the craziness between Daddy and Munchkin.
I am pleased with the talks that Munchkin and I have when Daddy is busy working on different projects or going out for a ride. Yes, today, I am feeling extremely thankful and blessed.
