98) abundance of tomatoes
99) health all around (It's been a while since we've all been healthy at the dame time, and I'm SO THANKFUL for that!)
100) reaching 100 blessings to be thankful for :)
101) community youth soccer
102) clean goat barn and trimmed hooves
103) great first week of school
104) My Father's World curriculum, for holding up a high standard for my children, and giving them a schedule to follow that wasn't created by me. My children don't try to bargain as much when there's a nebulous "someone out there" who created their assignments. It's working well so far!
105) The guys at Math Teaching Textbooks for creating a wonderful program that allows me to successfully teach increasingly difficult math effectively.
106) all the wonderful things to discover and learn about - it never gets old!
107) Baby niece Bundle of Joy - her enthusiasm and joy are so infectious!

ReplyDeleteWonderful blessings, all! And Judy, I'm keeping you in my thoughts, you are a strong woman to be dealing with all this stress and illness and still are able to share in the joys and tribulations of the rest of us! Keep strong, girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteBoy Howdy! I've got to echo Erin's thoughts regarding you, Judy! Most people in your current circumstance would be wallowing in the "poor me" syndrome but you keep your chin up and great sense of humor going full blast. Don't forget we're all hear to share in your down times, too. Then we all can send you strength to make those times not quite so hard.
ReplyDeletePatty, as always, a great list. Seems to me last week I said I was going to start writing down my own list of abundant blessings. That thought must have fallen out of my head like so many others! (Gotta start wearing ear plugs.)
Judy- I agree with Mama Pea and Erin, and I'm so glad to be a part of your journey as you walk this broken road. Someone once described life's journey as a broken road that lead them straight to God. I love that description of life. I think in a sense we're all traveling our own broken roads. I'm so happy for those whom I've shared parts of my journey with, including YOU! My prayers continue for both Jerry and you.
ReplyDeleteErin- I find you to be such an encouraging person! You really bless and inspire me. You are so positive, and so good at building people up.
Mama Pea- I chuckled BIG at the thought of wearing ear plugs to keep the thoughts in your head. I SO WISH there was such a fix for leaking thoughts.
