Weekend Blessing Count

Since today is Monday, this feels like a good time to do a little blessing counting practice.

1) Even though Friday night my car completely died because the alternator belt ripped to shreds, I had a warm coat and a safe place to wait while my sweet, super-hero daddy came to get me and taught me about cars.

2) Two-yr-old niece Lucy spent the night with us. So did her 2 babies ("brown baby" & "new baby") plus a lamb and a bear.

3)Dad replaced my car's belt by Saturday afternoon.

4)My oldest brother stopped by to get Lucy, so I got to hold the 4-month-old niece Eleanor!

5)Uninterrupted afternoon to work on collage art at home.

6)Dinner out just me&Daddy @ Bombay Bistro-YUM! Peshawari naan, khyberi ghost, & navratan korma! (aka buttered bread stuffed w/ nuts&raisins, slow-cooked lamb in amazing gravy & 9 vegetables in a rich, cashew sauce)

7)That night I got to see my sister Becca & hold tiny, newborn Philip James! Plus I went over to my other sister's house to see the oldest niece & nephew! Being an aunt rocks!

8)Very relaxing Sunday. Time to think and listen.

9)Chatting with Aunt Connie on the phone about Thanksgiving.

10)Another great dinner w/ Brett at a favorite spot-24 on Lamar.

11)Blog help from my sweet friend Aleesha Nash.

The list goes on and on really. Thank God for my family and babies and friends. They cheer me up every time. I don't deserve you all :) What a mercy that God speaks and smiles and hugs through you. I can never thank Him enough.
