Truly Blessed:

Have you ever thought about how blessed you are?

Today I feel especially blessed. Why?

I feel truly lucky and am so grateful:

I have a wonderful husband who loves me for me~

He has a job~

I have 3 healthy, pretty happy children~

I have a semi-neurotic dog~

I have a home and a bed and my children have the same~

I live in a safe community~

I can worship my God publicly and privately~

My mother and I are friends~

My siblings and I are friends~

We can feed our children 3 meals a day, and some snacks~

We have clean clothes and lots of unmatched socks~

We have water whenever we want it~

We have freedom that cost some men and women their lives~

We have soldiers protecting us 24/7~

Now here are some funny, but honest reasons I am also grateful~

I have a thick head of hair~

I still don't have to wear glasses~

I have enough energy to yell at my kids...ooops, discipline them!

We have sunshine most of the time in California~

My daughter and I can laugh but also talk about girl stuff~

My boys have healthy intestines...and I know this by all the farting they do!

We can sing and dance whenever we want to!

I survived the 80's~

I still have my own teeth to grind while sleeping~

My pap smear and breast exam were both fine this year, I know "TMI"...

What about you? What are you grateful for?

Make a list and add to it as necessary.

If you live in America, you do have a lot to be thankful for!

Rose

This is Rose. She is 13 years old and lives in Kenya. I have been very blessed to be associated with her support group called "Ordinary Women", who are a group of super Godly women who are moved to help these orphans.

I just sponsored her, and it was very easy. For only $35.00 a month, I've been able to get her:

- school (HS) tuition, room and board, bedding, personal effects, stationary
- family and placement supervised by a qualified social worker
- nutrition and basic health care
- school uniform, clothing, bedding, & mosquito net and a BIBLE!

These children need our help and I pray some of you would consider joining me in supporting this group.
They will be going to Kenya in August to see these children and their community.

1John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in DEED and in Truth.

This group of AMAZING Ordinary Women show their love in action! What an inspiration you ladies are!
