Dear Lord; Happy Thankful Thursday Father!
As I mentioned yesterday Father, I’ve felt a bit disconnected the past couple days so I think today’s “Counting My Blessings” post is just what the doctor ordered to realign my thoughts with all the Blessings You surround me with each day. I’ve seen a number of other “Bloggy Friends in Christ” having similar issues to those I expressed in yesterday’s post, so today I also want to pray for Your Comfort and Peace to be with them as well.
And on to the list! Continuing from last week…
46. An administrative assistant who makes sure I eat, even when I’m too hectic to think about it.
47. The encouraging and thoughtful comments that are left on phatherphil.org each day.
48. Spiritual Decompression time.
49. A Heavenly Father that’s never too busy to talk with me.
50. Having a local butcher who has wonderful, fresh meats at great prices.
51. A lull in the hot, sticky weather today (low 80s and a nice breeze).
52. The 12-foot market umbrella on our deck which allows us to be outside more often.
53. That the grass is growing slowly this week. 🙂
54. Godparents who take an active role in our children’s lives.
55. Friends willing to watch the boys now and again so Shannon and I can get out together.
56. Green’s Black Raspberry Blast Ice Cream
57. New sales that seem to show up just when I need them.
58. Afternoon coffee.
59. “Date Night” with Shannon.
60. Your Mercies in Disguise.
As always, I thank You Father for these and all the other Blessings You bestow on me each day. Even at my lowest points, I can look up and always see Your Light above me, welcoming me back to You. Amen.

#58. My attention was on it right away. I find going to my local coffee shop in the afternoon is a wonderful comforter. There is one I’m surprised you didn’t mention 🙂 the sound of a running stream. (We have one nearby fortunately.)
Every blessing to you Phil.
That’s another great one Christopher! 🙂
Thank you, and have a Blessed Day!
