Mother’s Day was bittersweet for me. I am so very thankful
for my sweet boys & their love for me. I am learning to trust God’s plans
for me. A baby girl for me is not part of the plan right now. I have 2
sister-in-laws pregnant with little girls & I am excited to love on my nieces.
And I heard a message about how Satan got Eve to sin & he still uses that
SAME approach today. He isolates her, he gets her to think that God doesn’t
really care about her, & then he gets her to see the ONE thing that she
doesn’t have. Wow. Totally convicted on that one! I am not saying that it doesn’t
hurt to have asked for over 10 years for a little girl for God to say, “No” or “Not
Now”. What I am saying is that I need to concentrate & focus on what I DO
have, three wonderful boys. God is good.
I am not sure if the pain in my foot & leg will ever “be
healed”. I have been to almost a dozen doctors, changed my diet, taking all
kinds of supplements & high doses of Lyrica (for neuropathic pain) with
minimal amounts of improvement. I am able to drive & hobble around my
house. If I have to walk over 20 feet then its with a crutch or on my scooter
in stores only because the pain is so great. I am learning to live with my new ‘normal’
& hoping for all this to be behind us soon. I won’t be updating on it
anymore unless I have some fantastic news J
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
When upon life’s billows
you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Refrain
Count your blessings,
name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Are you ever burdened
with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.
Refrain
When you look at others
with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
Refrain
So, amid the conflict
whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
Refrain
