It’s not Christmas. It’s not even July. But today’s word of inspiration, NOTHING, brought to mind White Christmas.
Betty & Bob sitting by the fire singing, Count Your Blessings (Instead Of Sheep).
“When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings”
A few years ago my girls and I were moving into our own apartment after living with my parents for a couple months. We had nothing. Absolutely nothing. I used to tell people, we don’t even have a toilet brush.
On the day we moved in, there it was – a brand new toilet brush. But not just that, there was furniture, kitchen appliances, bedroom fixtures, curtains and so much more. We had blessing after blessing poured out on us by family and friends and loved ones from our church. Someone even had leftover paint in their garage that was the exact color I had chosen for the walls. To this day I’ve saved the color sheets from Home Depot to remind me of that blessing. I never want to forget.
