5000+

Blessed, Blessed, Blessed ~    

There's a saying... not sure where it came from but it goes like this... "too blessed to be stressed".

I'm not rich, but I have a roof over my head, clothes to wear, and food to eat.
I am not alone, for I have a family who wraps me in their love.
I'm not popular, but I have friends who love me.
I'm only one among many but I am uniquely and lovingly designed by God's hand.
I'm a sinner, but I know the love of Christ and  I am alive in Him.

Blessed, Blessed, Blessed.

  1. I'd love option #2! Thanks for the chance! Not sure who I would want to play me in a movie (not real up to date on moviestars). But what a boring movie that would be! ;)

  3. Either option would be great to win but I would prefer #1 Christmas. I don't think anyone would be even remotely interested in playing me in a movie - LOL!

  21. Tough choice. I love those post-it's, but, I also love Christmas fabrics. I guess I'll pick the Christmas fabrics with the cute little Santa box. It'll go with the Santa block exchange I just finished. Thanks for the giveaway.

  22. I'm a new follower. I think I'd want Julia Roberts to play me. She'd make me funnier than I am. Glad to see you are from Ark. We have family reunions in Ark every other year. I also have an Arkansas hillbilly pound puppy we got there.

  31. I'm follower number 50! Yay! I love your blog, and am glad that I came here from Stray Stitches. If they were going to make a film of my life, it would be as boring as an old documentary, but those need narrators, so I guess the voice of Pearl Bailey!

  43. I'm in a Christmas state of mind, so I'd love the first if I win. And I'd love for Jada Pinkett Smith to play me in a movie. She's short like me (although way more pretty and as fit as they come) and she has spunk!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I am in a Christmas frame of mind. Each year I try and make some Christmas gifts early. It usually isn't early enough and I am still working on them right up until CHristmas. This year I hope to start some things in the fall. So definitely #1.

    ReplyDelete
