I was happy to be able to sit down and write out my blessings. As I focused on the good things the Lord has blessed me with this week, it helps make it easier to deal with the more difficult aspects of life.
Everyone dressed up in yellow and red and many of the children had their Pooh bears in their backpacks. I'm so used to seeing them in uniforms every day so it was such fun to see them.
I only wish I could show you their adorable faces!

No matter what is going on in your life, remember that there are always every day blessings. We just need to stop and notice them and then thank God for them.
I'm linking up with Ann of A Holy Experience for Multitudes on Mondays.
Blessings and love,
No we didn't celebrate Winnie the Pooh's Birthday..oh my, we missed it and I am such a fan of Winnie the Pooh.
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed Kathleen....and I hope everything is okay on the hospital visit...so, so sorry...I will be praying.
Hugs...great list
Amen to that, Debbie. There are blessings in every day.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you have had to spend time in the hospital with a family member; I hope he/she is doing much better. I am sure you brought a smile on their face being with them.
Cute post. I love Winnie the Pooh. He is so cute.
ReplyDeleteHope your relative is feeling better.
I'm saying a prayer right now for your relative in the hospital. I know you were a comfort.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you missed Kathleen. but God knew where you needed to be, and I'm glad you got to chat with her while she was there.
Your 'kids' are the cutest bunch, Debbie! How adorable they all look. Keep counting those blessings, they are making your heart merry, and God says that is good medicine!

I prayed for your relative in the hospital. I am so sorry to hear news that like. Hope it is not too serious.
ReplyDeleteI missed the birthday?! I have loved Winnie for so long and didn't even know! Oh, bother!
Your list and pictures warm my heart.

Aww... I didn't realize it was his birthday! Celebrating Pooh sounds like so much fun. Adorable Pooh outfits! I am sorry to hear of your loved one in the hospital. What a blessing you are to be with them!
ReplyDeleteOh yes...blessings in the midst of trials. That is so true. We don't always see them at first, but when we look to God, He will make things clear. Just last night my husband stuck up a conversation about some past trials. He said, "You know, we have been through some really hard times, but look at what God has done through them. We are in a much better place now."
ReplyDeleteTrusting God and His plan, Joan
lovely blessings! We are in Florida too - Boca Grande area near Sarasota - God bless
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is beautiful! Thank you for such an encouraging post. Sometimes we need to be reminded to notice the blessings that come our way, each day! Even during the struggles, it's also good to remember, that "All things work together for good to them that love the Lord, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
Thanks for reminding me of Winnie the Pooh's birthday! :-)
Paulette
Thanks for always reminding me....Love the cute pictures
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to have a job where you can celebrate Winnie the Pooh's b-day? I always enjoyed some of those special things when I taught the little ones. Something else about being around little ones is the movies you get to go see. They help to keep us young.
ReplyDeleteI hope things settle down for you before too long. Love you.
