Counting My Blessings !






Today I'm counting my blessings, it's been a good week,  there's always blessings in the "not so good" times.  Having to drive Two and a half hours round trip every day for my Hubby's appointments is tiring, but necessary.   Our son-in-law let us borrow his camper this week, so we could stay nearby the doctors office's and not have to drive every day. That was a blessing indeed!


 It was really nice and quiet most of the time.



The boaters got out early also.



 Each morning I would go outside with my cup of tea, watch the sun come up over the water and  admire God's handiwork.
Blessing!


 I love the outdoors and nature's little creatures. Watching them is soothing. Early in the morning the ducks would come swimming by to say hello.

Blessings!







This was the prettiest woodpecker I've ever seen, but he wouldn't get close or stay in one place but a minute at a time. He (or she) was red, black and white.

 Blessing!

 There were lots of boats over the weekend but during the week just a few.



The ducks wanted to come for  food  a visit, but Madi said, "NO WAY!"  She ran them back into the water.

We're home now and we'll start over tomorrow, a new day and a new week. He's doing good and we're praying for a break some this week.  

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to ALL MOTHERS!




Philemon 7 "Your love has given me great joy"


A Loving Mother

A Loving Mother is a gift from God
she rejoices when you're happy
and encourages your dreams, 
Prays for you,
sees the best in you
and loves you, no matter what,
shines God's light
into your world
to help you find your way.

A Loving Mother
is a gift from God
You treasure even more
as time goes by.
(on an American Greetings Card.)





I am so thankful that I had such a Mother!
May your Mother's Day
Be a Blessed One!

My daughter is with us today.   Hope to get better with using the tablet.

Card for a Sick Blogger



Good morning, while I find a little time to check blog post this morning, one of my blogging friends did a post about a dear sweet 84 year young blogger that is sick and I believe she said she's in the hospital. She loves to blog and dearly loves to get mail. She posted a blog where you can get the address and send her a card to help cheer her up. 
Going through this time in my life with my husband, I know how it would feel to receive encouragement cards and prayers.  I too will try and find time to send her a card so if you wish to also you can find the address at this blog.

FINDING STRENGTH


Internet photo



Count your garden by the flowers,
Never by the leaves that fall.

Count your days by golden hours,
Don't remember clouds at all...

Count your nights by stars
not shadows.
Count your years with smiles,
not tears.

Count your blessings, 
not your troubles.

Count your age by friends,
not years
unknown author










 

My Grace is sufficient for you,, for my power is made perfect in weakness". 2 Corinthians 12:9

I have received emails wanting to know how my husband is doing with his treatments. He is doing good with them, Praise the Lord!  He hasn't been sick yet, just tired and weak. We will start our 2nd week on Monday then 6 more weeks of treatments.  They keep him full of nausea medicine.  I keep him loaded with energy drinks, like Ensure. Thanks so much for asking, it is a blessing to know that you care. He gave me permission to write about him.

Fear not for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, yea I will help thee...Isaiah 41:10 KJV


We find strength in God's words, our faith is weak at times but just when we get to the lowest place, He lifts us up to higher ground.
 

 
Exodus 15:2
The Lord is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation: He is my God...


We're counting our Blessings for God has been good to us!

Have a Blessed weekend!
