I realize that I am blessed.
I am blessed by a family who loves me.
I am blessed by a larger family of God who love me.
I am blessed with a home.
I am blessed with a car.
I am blessed with a sound mind.
I am blessed with good health.
I am blessed by God Himself.
I have done nothing to deserve these blessings.
I am not more special than anyone who is not blessed with or by these things.
I cannot expect to be blessed by all these things always.
Hmmm
This is a difficult concept. I do not deserve anything that I have received.
I cannot do anything to earn what I have been given.
I am no more special than you!
Yet I am special.
I am blessed.
You are special.
You are blessed.
Remember Grandma singing Showers of Blessings? She knew what she was singing. She was blessed. She did not have a husband for many many years. She raised her children on her own. She worked to provide. She knew hard times.
Yet...she understood that she was blessed.

I am overwhelmed
with the Lord's provision.
I know it seems small but Beatriz, who is away at CBU, broke her glasses...6 months ago. She has been repairing them over and over. They are crooked on her face. She needs them to read and even to just walk around without crashing into door frames.
I got in on www.coastalcontacts.com free giveaway on Friday. I was so excited. Then the site crashed and I called customer service. They said they would send an email with a special one time code just for me. It never came. I called again yesterday. It still didn't come. I called today. They took the order over the phone but I needed to pay with paypal because that is the only money I have today (shipping and special coatings). They had me go to the site and order and then email my order number back to the exact customer service rep I spoke to and she will adjust it today.
Her glasses will arrive by Nov. 23 and I only had to pay about $14!
The cool part is that even without the promotion they would have been less than $100.
I am so excited for her. She so deserves new glasses. She hasn't complained even once.
