Overjoyed

holy experience


It's a brand new week and I have much to be grateful for. I am counting my blessings and I hope you'll join along!

I'm grateful that although he's a boy he loves Princess Charlie enough to allow her to place ribbon in his hair for a quick picture. He even posed! Too funny!


I have always suffered with back issues (scoliosis) and dear hubby purchased a brand new massage chair and foot massaging machine for me this weekend. He said "If I'm going to pamper you I might as well go all the way." I'm so grateful for this man!!!

This beautiful Angel survived Katrina as well and everytime I look at her I know everything will be okay. I'm deeply grateful for that message she gives. :)

I'm grateful for the heartfelt laughter my nephew brings into this home of ours.


I'm grateful for this pretty new journal!
I have so much to say and so many more things in which to be grateful for.
I can write them down and one day maybe my Grand-kids will read it.

I'm grateful Princess Charlie put these goodies together for the kiddies in Methodist Children's Hospital.

I'm grateful for the love and support I receive daily within my home.
I'm grateful that I can hear when my puppy son barks and wakes me up at 7:20 on a Saturday morning.
I'm grateful for God's love and guidance
I'm grateful to end this post knowing I still have much more to be grateful for :o)

    What a beautiful list, and one that makes me grateful I can read! Your husband is a doll; what a wonderful gift! And that angel... I swear she looks like she would start talking if given the prompt.

    Have a perfect day today, and keep shining that gorgeous light of yours!

    Tabitha,
    I am overjoyed that you are overjoyed! Joy, as you know, is contagious--as is gratitude.

    Today I am grateful for a day absolutely full of things I love to do: Writing. Gardening. Spiritual Direction with a lovely other in my home. Preparing to be a guest at Brandi's blog on Wednesday. Spending the evening with my ever-wonderful hubby. Fixing a cold pasta salad for dinner. The sun is shining and it is full-blown summer here, finally!, which I love, love, love. Maybe a dip in the lake.

    Sun always makes me happy, as does reading your blog, my sweet companion of the journey...

    Based on the title of your blog I have a query. Do you read Joseph Campbell? BTW, I too, love Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen.

    I'm grateful that God provides, that God never abandones nor forakes, that God knows my dreams, that God has a plan for each of my sons, that God guides my husband, that God knows what tomorrow will bring so I don't have to worry but trust.

    Thanks for sharing and encouraging us to think about what we're grateful for.

    Have a blessed day!

    Joseph Campbell is all about following your bliss in fact as a teacher this quote is what he is known for. Read http://www.jcf.org/new/index.php?categoryid=31

    So I thought he may have been the inspiration behind the title of your blog.
