I’m Blessed

Sorry I’m a little late posting this Monday “party.”  We’re all still in a bit of recovery over here after last week’s bout of sickness.  Where once I was ahead, now I’m a bit behind.

It’s Christmas this week.  Can you believe that?  Whew!  It doesn’t seem quite real.

As I’m overwhelmed with the number of things that need to happen before Christmas, I think it’s good to for me to count my blessings.

It’s hard this morning to do that without feeling so hypocritical.  I just sent punished David for tormenting Elias.  I’ve just scolded Silje for goofing off instead of doing her chores…again.  Just before Knut went to work he told me not to take the van anywhere because it emptied all of the radiator fluid onto our garage floor as we slept last night…again.  (This is the van that we just took to the mechanic to tune up before our 2 day road trip for Christmas and just got “it’s good to go” for the long trip.)  Since I woke up this morning I feel like I am fixing or correcting someone and I cannot act all cheery and “everything is fabulous” at our house this morning.

Some days, when my mind is sadly searching a bit, I’m sooooooo blessed by grace.

That is all this morning.  I am so blessed for God’s grace.  It covers all.  Everything.  It’s free.  It’s essential.  It’s beautiful.

It’s all we need.

Thank you, Lord, for your grace.  This morning, it is sufficient for me.

Don’t forget to link up this blog to your own I’m blessed post if you’re a blogger.  If not, leave a comment saying how you have been blessed, and Merry Christmas!
