When you are troubled and you can't sleep...

I count my blessings...

1. A husband who is kind and considerate, who is a good father and a great husband.
2. A sweet and good-natured daughter who I never knew I'd love so much.
3. A house that is warm, dry and comfortable.
4. Carey having a good job, with a great company, working with wonderful people, in an area that brings him fulfillment.
5. Bills that remind me we are far richer than most people in the world.
6. A mama and daddy who I look forward to being with as much as I do my best friends.
7. Sisters that are my best friends.
8. A brother to proud of.
9. Sweet dogs that keep me company and wait outside the bathroom door when I shower.
10. In laws that I not only love but enjoy being with.
11. A husband who I know will always love me and overlook my many faults. (he deserves being mentioned twice.)
12. Old friends who've known me long enough to remember my teeth before braces and my hair before the perm, who I never have to explain stuff to because they were there and they know me.
13. New friends who allow me to vent and talk about meaningless, random things... friends who give me new perspective on things.
14. The ability to count, otherwise this list wouldn't be possible.
15. A car with air conditioning to drive. Because Savannah's a big, hot city and it would take forever to get to Orlando without it.
16. A toilet to sit on, because squatting over a hole in the ground would get old very quickly.
17. A computer and internet to waste endless hours surfing and writing ridiculous blogs on.
18. A niece who has occupied most of my time for the last 3 years and who I love like she's my own.
19. A nephew who is destined to be BFF's with Piper.
20. A flat iron, because without it I would be forced to shave my head.
21. Donuts. For they make life that much more enjoyable.
22. Weight watchers.  For it saves me from becoming one big, nasty donut.
23. Netflix. Because it provides hours of Star Trek enjoyment for little cost.
24. For good health, good doctors and good medicine.

But more important than all of these, Jesus. Who provides everything I need and a lot of what I simply just want.  Who is faithful even and especially when I am not.

Thank you, Lord.
