Abundance & Blessings

This morning on my way to work I said a prayer asking God to let me see his blessings today for me. I didn't ask for anything, I just wanted to be surprised and be able to recognize them.

As the day went along it was nothing special, another work day as usual. I really like what I do, I am a data processor at City Directory Inc. I love the computer and what it can do. Give me a challenge and I am up for it. I teach others how to do the job. I am blessed to have a job.

I am also blessed with many friends, each one special in their own way. I love to hear their stories and learn something new from them all. My father owned a small town grocery store as I was growing up so I was around many different people from the age of 5 on up. I have friends from all places and I love them all.

I was blessed with great weather today. It was supposed to be hot but I was picture perfect. I love to have the windows open to feel the breeze coming in the windows, smell the fresh air and listen to the birds sing in the tree outside my front door.

I am blessed with a husband who can do about anything. Tonight he was kind enough to go to my mothers house which is 23 miles from here to mow her lawn. I mow our lawn because I like too, but he loads the mower on the trailer and does hers which is very kind of him.

I was also blessed with my garden produce tonight. I picked so much that we can eat for quite awhile. I love this time of year with all the fresh garden produce. I don't have a big garden but I plant it close together and gets lots from it. This is the second time I have picked cucumbers in 3 days. I picked cucumbers, green beans, beets, kohlrabi, and onions. I can plan many meals around all of the fresh vegetables.

AS the night comes to an end I can count the many blessings one by one and am thankful for all that God has given me today.
