Blessings

What blessings I have in my life. My wonderful girls, my beautiful and caring wife, my awesome parents, and my Lord Jesus Christ. Without whom, I would not have had the first 2 sets of blessings.

As I sit here this morning, at work, drinking my coffee and preparing for the day, I am reminded of the good things I have in my life that far out way the bad. I fret about money issues, while their are some that have lost their homes, families, and way of life due to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and financial downturn. For that matter, there are many around the world that struggle to have food to eat and a roof over their heads. I do have a job and I do have enough to get me by. My kids are in school and we can afford to go to McDonalds every now and then.

I live in a country that I am free to choose my religion and free to speak my mind. Free to choose our president and free to disagree with them.

For the second paragraph, I thank God. For the third, I thank the soldiers throughout history who have been willing to stand up and protect the freedoms that we usually take for granted.
