Counting My Blessings

65. Fun - Our small group had an ugly sweater Christmas party last night and it was fun! I'm so blessed to have a group to enjoy during the Christmas season.

66. Cancellations - I was feeling a tad overwhelmed, but two big activities were cancelled (and one postponed)!

67. My sons are such hard workers - when we got home from the party all the laundry was folded (Aunt probably helped!) and M. is diligently working on Christmas presents right now.

68. Warmth - a heater at school (that I cranked up today!), a nice coat, a fireplace, an electric blanket. I'm so blessed to have a way to get warm whenever I need it.

70. God still speaks - our boys are sensitive to what He has to say and I just love when they share something they know He's shared.

  3. Annette, I love the ugly sweater party! How fun. :-) Our youth group is having an ugly holiday sweater night too.

    I will post about our Snowflake Advent Tree tomorrow and our Jesse Tree (the devotional from Ann Voscamp @ www.aholyexperience) soon.

  4. The ugly sweater party sounds like fun! Isn't it funny how we can rejoice when activities are canceled?

    What a blessing that the boys are sensitive to the Lord's leading.

  5. I got a giggle out the ugly sweater party...never heard of that one before :)

    I actually feel relieved with some cancellations, too..at times. It is sometimes a weight lifted.

    Wonderful list of Blessings!
