life is good!

So, even though my throat is sore, my ears are stopped up and my head is stuffy, I still say life is good. Yesterday, Daniel and I went to the Wal-Mart on Hwy 18 for something our church does every year around this time. Buried Treasures Ministry of our church always hosts a Dress A Child day. Volunteers from our church go and help these children whose parents are incarcerated and can't buy them school clothes and other necessities. Last year Daniel and I shopped with this one family together, but this year's volunteers seemed a little slim so we were separated and shopped with different families. I am so amazed and thankful at the many blessings that our family has had bestowed upon us. Just when you think your life is tough or you're going through something so difficult, God always reminds us to count our blessings whether we think them to be large or small because there are families and other people out there who have it way worse than we do. Sometimes this is because of a rash decision that should have been a little more thought out or this is because they know no better way of life. These families that we shop for are so appreciative of what we did and it was so simple to just give two or three hours of our Saturday to shop for them. I just love showing God's love in this way.
Also, this morning our SS lesson was on being judgemental of people before we know the whole story. I just feel so blessed that God was not judgemental of me even when He knew the whole story. He loved me anyway; despite all of my flaws and I am so thankful for that!
With this being said, I say again... LIFE IS GOOD!
