{blessings}

Things in life have been wearing us down in the Lowenberg home, in light of that I need to look to the blessings that are in abundances around us...

in no special order...

• air conditioning on a hot Minnesota day
• special mami/daugther time while watching The Waltons
• a thumbs up pre-op physical
• yummy strawberry shortcake
• a functioning apartment
• picnics with friends
• working car - with good gas mileage
• summer homework that is challenging for a little one
• a messy room full of toys, tent, babies - full of times of imaginary play and fun
• new, yummy recipes - Fancy Mac
• Chai Tea
• Apple Cinnamon Candles
• the TV show Chopped
• A new Kindle - surprise present from my mom
• lost Tangled hairbrush that is now found and returned
• late night phone conversation with a friend - thanks Lezlie
• new Bible Study material made for Minster's Wives
• a husband who loves me, no matter how disrespectful and nonsupporting I am at times
• soft words from Jesus when I need them so desperately

I think that's a good starting list.

What's your blessing list look like - even in the storms?
