I am doing an online Bible Study through Facebook.

We are using the book Stressed-Less Living by Tracie Miles

The subject for today is blessed. Counting your blessings. If you're counting your blessings, then who has time to be stressed, right? haha!!!!
So today, I just prayed a prayer of thankfulness to God for all that's in my life and all He's done.
Thankful for my husband - Sticking with me, being patient, loving me.
Thankful for my children - Giving me such joy and teaching me to love more fully than I knew possible.
Thankful for my job - I'm able to work from home now and have Emma with me. What a blessing that has been. I don't want to miss anything!
Thankful for friends - I have just a few that stuck by me and loved me through my mess.
Thankful especially for God. Oh my.
His mercy
His grace
His patience
His everlasting love
His pursuit of me
When I think of where I've been the past 2 years.
Such turmoil, such pain and grief.
And to now, feel blessed beyond measure.
Happy, content.
Oh God is so good! He never left me. Never forsake me. Never gave up on me.

Nickie! I loved reading your thankful list! Thank you for opening your heart and being so personal today. I can relate to so much of what you wrote here. I love #2 because my children have also taught me to love more fully than I knew possible. And no matter where I have ventured or where life has taken me at times, God never gave up on me! His love is so amazing. Hugs to you today, friend!! :)
Love,

This is beautiful and your absolutely right if we are counting our blessings we have no time to be stressed!
awesome girlie... love
My list looked very much like yours. Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts. I found that it really did put things in perspective after writing down our blessings. In my case I feel I was taking these blessings for granted.
Beautiful Nicki. Loved your blog and your list. Thanks for sharing. Debbie W. (OBS Group Leader)
