Mi amiga Kate, who is working this Lent to “be as tame as other household kates” (sorry… couldn’t resist the temptation!), posted about the “blessings” in her life for her Quick Takes this week. (Check out her “Hey Girl” pic which features her hilarious and holy husband Adam who is seriously tatted out in a way that makes his job as a youth minister amusing.) After realizing that I had completely forgotten to put something in the queue last night to post today, I thought I would give you some Laura Story as well as counting my blessings.

On to my blessings (in no particular order):

-being saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ
-God’s love
-Jon
-Daniel
-my cats
-multiple boxes of Samoas in the house
-a roof over my head
-Internet
-food to eat
-Daniel taking a nap right now so I can blog and answer emails
-a college degree
-a library card
-my NOOK and books to read on it
-a sushi place nearby
-Daniel’s smile
-friends online and in real life
-access to medical care
-a Trader Joe’s within reasonable driving distance
-an orange tabby with an excellent motor and a nice belleh
-a beautiful house panther (even if she is incredibly needy)
