Today, I just want to say thank you to the Lord for all of His blessings to me.  I have been blessed this week with a visit from two of my grandchildren, and I am feeling especially blessed because a friend from church, Maribel Velez, came to stay with my while my husband is out of town.  How blessed I am to have a good Christian friend in the house!  I am blessed to be alive.  I am blessed to be a sinner saved by grace.  I am blessed to be an American.  I am blessed to be a wife and a mother.  I am blessed to be able to exercise every day.  I am blessed!  And I am so thankful to the God who made the Universe and decided that the world needed one of me!  Thank you, Lord!
