Blessed

"Every cloud has a silver lining," (John Milton).  This definitely rings true for me, especially in the past couple of years.  On a day to day basis I find myself attempting to look at the little things I have in life to be thankful for.  I would start by saying how thankful I am for my husband and how much I appreciate and love him.  Today, we both had the option of getting a brand new phone and he once again put me before himself.  He opted to get me the new Thunderbolt which is definitely one of the nicest possessions I have ever had the pleasure of owning.  The capabilities are far beyond my simplistic comprehension.

Thinking back on the past couple of weeks, I have definitely not been showing my appreciation for how thoughtful he has been towards me.  I have completely fallen short of putting the needs of my husband before my own and have come to realize exactly how much of a sinner I truly am.  I couldn't be more in need of the word of God and help from those that surround me and know far more than I do.  I once again remind myself how lucky I am to have found him and wondering how in the world I have been so blessed.  I guess since today is April 1st, April Fool's Day, this is my daily reminder of how foolish I truly am at heart.
