I have been blessed in ways that I didn't think were blessings at first. I lost my job about a year and a half ago, looking for work to no avail. During the time that I had away from working I got to know many of my neighbors that I had bearly met before, I got to spend a summer vacation with my son doing chores and going fishing. I found out that I had high blood pressure that if had be left untreated I would be with the Lord now instead of with my family. I have a stronger relationship with God through all of this because He blessed my family and I. We had everything we needed during that time and really found out what was important in our lives. HE allows me to play with HIS creations, and I thank HIM everytime one gets on the line. I hope that everyone remembers to count the blessings they have this year and look for the blessings when you don't think there are any to be had. I also hope all of you remeber to thank GOD for allowing us to play with HIS toys.
