I am so glad ---

"I am so glad that Jesus loves me -- Jesus loves even me!"
"Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul.  Thank you, Lord, for making me whole.
  Thank you, Lord, for giving to me, Thy great salvation so full and free."
"I am blessed!  I am blessed!  Every day that I live I am blessed! 
  When I wake up in the morning, 'till I lay my head to rest --
  I am blessed!  I am blessed!"

Yes, on this beautiful Monday morning, I am very blessed!  When I woke up this morning, I saw these beautiful words on my wall --
     "Pray about everything -- worry about nothing."
And then when I look out the window above my bed, I see a beautiful tree loaded with lovely golden leaves.  Yes, I am blessed with eyes to see the beauty around me, with family and friends who love me and pray for me, and above all, I am blessed to know the joy of living for Jesus every moment of every day!
 At this Thanksgiving season, one of the things we are most thankful for is our home and family.  I like this poem entitled "Beatitudes for the Home" by Theodore Adams.

     "Blessed is the home where God is at home, and where the spirit of Christ rules.
Blessed is the home where children are welcomed and given their rightful place.
      Blessed is the home having a church home where father, mother, and children
worship regularly together.
     
      Blessed is the home where each puts the other's happiness first.
Blessed is the home where all show their love in ways that mean the most to those they love.
      Blessed is the home where each seeks to bring out the best in the other,
and to show his own best self at all times.

      Blessed is the home where all have learned to face their daily problems
in a Christian spirit, and to disagree without being disagreeable.
      Blessed is the home where children grow up, and grown-ups do not act like children.
Blessed is the home having the assurance of a heavenly home!"  Amen!
