To say "I am blessed" is an understatement.

I was thinking this morning as I lay in bed.  

I am blessed.  

Not because there were things I wanted wrapped with beautiful paper under a tree.  

No.  That had nothing to do with it.

I am blessed because yesterday I spent the night with my family.

A family that loves me.

A family that pulls together when times get hard.

A family that loves like they have nothing to lose.

A family that loves me for being ordinary me.

I am blessed because at night I fall asleep in a bed.

I have four blankets.  Yes four.

I am blessed because every time I go to the refrigerator there is food in it.  

It may not always be my favorite but there is food.

 I am blessed because when I need to go somewhere I get into my blazer and go.

My 1993 Blazer that doesn't have air conditioner.

I love my Blazer.

I am blessed because I have a father who loves me.  

He does everything possible to make sure that I have everything I need.

Then there are times when he goes above and beyond and gets me what I want.

So there you have it.

I am blessed!

Which is the understatement of the century!

I am beyond blessed! 

The beauty of it is that I deserve none of it because I am far from perfect.

But I have a Father who sees past my imperfection and wants me to have it anyway.

Thanks for everything!
