I am sitting here in my bed as I type this and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. So here is a list of things that I am particulary thankful for today:

*the hope that we have in Christ
*Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken."
*the body of Christ in the church
*friends who walk alongside you through this life
*friends who speak the truth of the Gospel
*family
*my two WILD and CRAZY kids that the Lord has BLESSED us beyond measure with!
*my AMAZING husband... I am so thankful to be able to walk this life with him...he LOVES and SERVES me and our family so well!!!

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
