Blessings by Desiree

It was a beautiful morning, and I had set the alarm early to have enough time to clear the snow off my car. As I scraped, brushed, and at times shoveled, I was thanking God for these little blessings that kept popping into my head. When I finished cleaning off the car, I turned around to see that Nala, our St. Bernard/Akita/Golden Retriever, had disappeared. I should have remembered that every first snow, she takes off. But I didn't. So after calling her name a couple times, I went inside, praying that she'd be OK on her walk-about. I proceeded to shower and get ready for church. The blessings kept making themselves known and I continued to offer them up and thank God for them all. Then I realized I should be thankful for having the extra time, now that I needed it to drive around the neighborhood to look for Nala. No sooner had I praised God for that too, and Nala barked to get in. God is so good. All was well and I could leave for church, ready to serve, to prepare for Christ's birth once again without a worry on my mind. Desiree
