This is excellent, Angie. Thank you for your example. I am provoked by you every time I read anything you write. Thanks for honoring the Savior! Love you.
Hi Ang, funny you should write this because I was coming home from seeing you yesterday and thanking God for the TRULY UNBELIEVABLE blessings I SHOULD be enjoying, but more often I overlook. All of your list and more. SO what if I spent a month sick and feel like the world has passed me by. Today, I'm healthy, well-fed, and loved by many. I don't just tolerate my husband, I adore him. I adore my children and I adore my friend Angie!
Angie, I'm landing with quite a thud after our vaca, so this list is such a blessing to me. It's so true that contentment is just a change in perspective away...
I'm thankful for you, more than you even know. :)
Hey Angie! I am reminded again of Psalm 50: 23 which says:
"He (she?)who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God." love you, Janet
