About this Blog...

This blog is meant to be a testimony to God's Faithfulness & His Glory.
In Old Testament times, God's people would build altars & monuments that would serve as a reminder of all that God did for His people. Today, we have the same opportunity to pay tribute to God's lavish blessing over our lives. This blog is a modern-day version of the Old Testament monument. May all who visit here and read the things written be inspired to be grateful for the blessings in their own lives and find reason to ascribe glory & honor to Almighty God --- for His unfailing love, infinite mercy & amazing grace!

Another year of blessings!

Today is my birthday.  I wouldn't say that I am thankful to be a year older....but I am thankful to be another year BLESSED!
Sure, there area lot of things in my life that I could do without......struggles, pain, insecurities, seemingly insurmountable obstacles - to name a few.  But honestly, I have been given SO MUCH....it is difficult to even begin to count the ways!  But without a doubt, my top 5 would be:

~God's mercies that truly are new every morning...though I am undeserving, His unrestrained grace continues to pour into my life day after day.

~God's unconditional love...without it I would never cease to be striving to earn His favor (and fail miserably to ever come close to being able to attain it).

~God's forgiveness...the mere idea that I can be washed clean of all my sin is unfathomable, but without it, I would be hopeless!

~God's gift of salvation...the idea that He would send His Son to die for me so that I can be forever reconciled to Him is beyond ALL comprehension!

~My family...my husband and my 3 incredible children are more than I could have ever hoped for!  They bring me SO MUCH joy, they are proof that God is the giver of good things and He does so lavishly!

"Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, - a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise".   ~ George Herbert
