Tell us about your blessings you are thankful for.



My husband has truly been a great blessing to me over a span of most of our married life...forty-one years on August nineth of this year, 2008. He's never forgotten any of my birthdays, anniversaries, or Valentine's days giving me beautiful cards with heartfelt words and many times a dozen of beautiful roses. And sometimes he's surprised me with a fresh bouquet of flowers for no special reason or occasion.
Also, over the years, I've suffered with much back pain and had a major back surgery in 2004. And lately, I'm having another episcode with back pain...hoping and praying that any more surgery will be necessary to give me relief of my pain. During all these years, my husband has been a tremendous help and very supportive...doing a lot of the household chores, grocery shopping, etc. My husband is the greatest and one in a million! -Alma

I would have to say my greatest blessing is my husband of nearly 46 years.  We have had our share of ups and downs but as we both "mellow" with age, we seem to be enjoying each other so much more.  He is a fine upstanding Christian gentleman in every sense of the word.  I am so thankful I met him in high school, as he was there when I needed guidance to become a Christian and he has been guiding me since then.  I am so glad he was the father to our two children who now have given us five grandchildren.  God knew very well what he was doing to send Leon my way. Our life has been blessed in so many ways, but this is one blessing I will cherish forever!  In fact, I would probably have to admit that I really got the better end of this deal for sure.  - Ruth H.

#1 is my great husband - Cal.  There are so many ill that don't have the support of family because they don't believe your illness is real.  My husband has never doubted me for a moment.  Instead of play toys(latest gadgets), we spend money on vitamins, accupuncture and other alternative treatments that are not covered my insurance.  What a blessed day it was 46 years ago when I married Cal.  -Billie

When I think how much He's blessed me,
All life's trial lose their sting;
I am thankful for His mercies,
And my heart begins to sing.
