Praise Him

I read a post yesterday on Kelly's Korner (one of the blogs I like to read) and it inspired me to do a similar one of my own. I am a worrier by nature but I also feel like I'm generally a very positive person. Yet it's so hard to stay positive sometimes when you hear so much negative in the world. I find myself actually feeling so much better having not watched TV (esp. the news)for a couple of weeks. With moving we just had our cable installed on Monday and we have still been busy unpacking so I haven't watched TV in quite a while. Okay and admittedly I haven't yet figured out how to work our new remotes. :) Anyway Kelly's blog was a great reminder that we all still have so many things to praise Him for.


PRAISE: My two year old son who is always amazing me with the new things he learns and has brought so much joy to our lives. I love to hear him laugh and I know that he is going to be a great big brother. He has such a kind and loving personality. Our baby girl who will arrive at the end of May. It's a joy to feel her kicking and moving (a lot) as she grows.


PRAISE: We have 5 grandparents and 4 sets of great-grandparents and many aunts and uncles that love him and will love her more than anything. We are also blessed to have my Mom and step-Dad as our babysitters.


PRAISE: We have 2 great jobs, a beautiful new home to live in, a recently purchased vehicle, plenty of food to eat, and our health.


PRAISE: Just some things I love that bring me a lot of happiness: my friendships (even when we don't see each other as often as I'd like), cherry coke, pedicures, my digital camera, Starburst jelly beans, Peeps, mashed potatoes, Mexican, strawberry banana Orange Julius, fruit flavored Mentos, new purses, walks on pretty days, facebook, cards in the mail, long summer days, songs that you can't help singing along to, Desperate Housewives/Grey's Anatomy/One Tree Hill/The Mentalist, coming home from work every day to see our little guy and my husband.
