Blessings

I have a lot to be thankful for in my life and I know I don't take time regularly enough to count those blessings. I am married to my best friend -- a Godly Man and a great dad -- for almost 11 years now! I have a wonderful son who has a tender heart full of compassion. I have parents, siblings, friends and family who love me, whom I love. I have a roof over my head and food to eat. I have a good, merciful, and loving Jesus who loves me, despite all my faults and failures. That's a lot to be thankful for!

Yesterday we celebrated Palm Sunday at church, saying "Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Blessed is HE who comes in the Name of the Lord!" Can you even imagine what it would have been like to be in Jerusalem with Jesus as He came riding through on a donkey amid shouts of praise and adoration?

Then, by week's end, Jesus will have made the ultimate sacrifice, taking my sins--your sins, being crucified on a cross for you and for me. Do you know His Blessings?
