"Above All"

Well, I have been kinda AWOL here on my blog because Sammy--our wonderful little rescue dog--decided that our laptop looked like a good thing to hike his leg on. Needless to say, although the laptop, mercifully, seems to not have died altogether, it does require a password to log in to and one of the letters in the password no longer works on the keyboard. Since it's extremely hard for me to type on my phone or Corey's tablet, I have decided not to post much. I am posting this (as I did the one on 11-11-11) from another laptop. So anyway, I've had "Above All" stuck in my head for a while. It's because of the part of the song that is in one of the Christmas songs we're singing for the Christmas cantata, "like a rose, trampled on the ground, You took the fall, and thought of me, above all." I love the lyrics to "Above All." It reminds me of all that Jesus sacrificed for me. I am very thankful for that. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I would like to list the blessings for which I am thankful for, starting with God Himself and His sacrifice for little insignificant me, continuing with Corey, the kids, my parents, my siblings, etc. The thing is, I have so many blessings--indeed, each breath, each second, each morning is a new blessing--that I could never count them all. For that, I am thankful. So I will close with the following Bible verses: "Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name." -1 Chronicles 29:11-13 "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." -Psalm 107:1 God bless you and keep you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving if I don't get back on before then!
