Blessings, do you see them?

    We all have blessings in our lives, sometimes the blessings are big and those are nice but sometimes they might be little blessings we miss because we are too busy to see them, or are so focused on the negative that we can't see the positive.  

     Sometimes the blessing might be a redbird right when I feel like I want to give up, a hug or I love you from a grandchild.  It might be someone bringing supper after I had surgery, a card, flowers from online friends, or a surprise package from a friend just to brighten my day.  It might be a picture a friend posted on my facebook wall, a rainbow on a rainy day, a phone call from a long ago friend. These are some of the blessings I have had recently.

     What are your blessings?  I don't know, do you?  Are you so focused on what you need or what you want; what someone did or didn't do;how things are going or not going?  For me redbirds are a sign from God for me that He is there, that He cares, that someones loves me, that I can make it through the storm or whatever I am facing. Look for the signs in your life, it might not stop the bad but it might remind you that no matter what is going on, it won't last forever.  

     Also while you are looking for your blessings, maybe you can be the answer to someone else who is looking for theirs. Remember God says give and it shall be given unto you, so what are you giving out?

Blessings,

Why I love my hubby Part 2

     Last month Istarted  a new series on the blog and linking it up with Happy Wives Club.  The second Thursday of each month I'll be listing 10 reasons why I love my hubby.  If you would like be a part of this series,  head over to Happy Wives Club and get all the details.
     I am doing this early as I am having surgery and not sure how I will feel so here is part 2.....

Why I love Billy-Reasons 11-20

11) He is going with me to my biopsy on my lungs and told me no matter what is shows we will get through 

       it together and he will help me whatever I face.

12) He wants to spend time with me

13) He likes to find little ways to make me happy, like making me a glass of tea or Dr Pepper

14) He listens to me even when he could care less what I am talking about

15) He lets me vent

16) He always takes up for me

17) He likes to watch Dr Quinn Medicine Woman with me

18) He likes us to eat together as a family

19) He teases me about Uncle Si but knows that he is my number 1

20) He wants to grow old with me

     As I was thinking on this post, I read something on facebook and thought it was perfect to add to this and also was very timely especially as we do not know what my future holds as we face this health battle.  I am going to share it with ya'll too. If you only had 5 minutes left to say all you wanted to to your hubby what would you say?

     CHALLENGE: Set your timer for 5 minutes, write down all you'd want to say to your husband in those final moments, and then give it to your husband.I am linking to the blog where I found this so you can read it for yourself..... http://www.happywivesclub.com/daily-blog-happy-wives-club/the-5-minute-exercise-every-couple-should-do.html
