I want to shout, Lord. I want to sing, grab everyone I meet, and tell them about all the wonderful things You have done for me.

Earlier today, I was so discouraged. As a mother, and as a Christian, I felt like a failure. Life weighed me down until I couldn't see anything You had accomplished for me. Then I thought of the song "Count Your Blessings". When I started the list, I couldn't stop finding ways You had fulfilled Your promises to me.

The miracle of having children is one of those blessings, Lord. Make me a blessing to my children. I will share my list with them them and teach them to count all the good things You've also brought to pass for them. Amen
