BLESSINGS

Well here goes my attempt at starting a blog. In this blog I will be writing about... family n. 1 a group of people related by blood, marriage, or adoption blessings n. 3 a gift of deity, nature, etc,; a thing one is glad of AND more adj. 1 existing in a greater or additional quantity, amount, or degree
A note about blessings... I was watching one of those paid programs yesterday about all the children available to sponsor through World Visions. Usually I just change the channel but for some reason, I just watched. I learned about 2 girls 9 and 10 living with their grandmother who was nearly dead. They did all the chores, had to walk miles for filthy water that made them sick, had only one dress, could not afford to go to school and ate only one small meal a day. There were many similar stories and it made me realize how many blessings we have even though we may feel less fortunate. I will try to waste less and remember the things I have so that I do not complain!
For today here are some blessings I am grateful for:
The apartment that I live in that has space for beds, books, toys and TV
Education so I can read and teach my son
A variety of food so abundant that I eat 3 meals a day and snacks
A closet full of clothes and bags more I don't even wear
Warm water for showers and clean water for drinking
Health care facilities and doctors for a minimal cost
MY FAMILY and SO MUCH MORE!!!
