Praise God!!

I think it was Jennifer from My Chocolate Heart who started a series of blogs with this title. I have so many things to praise God for! Here are just a few:

1. Praise God that I have a wonderful husband who loves me no matter how much stuff I have piled on the dining-room table AGAIN;

2. Praise God that all of my children are healthy and active (and intelligent, if I may say so);

3. Praise God for my parents and in-laws, all of whom are alive and healthy, and they love our children like crazy;

4. Praise God that we have a roof over our heads and an abundance food in the pantry;

5. Praise God that come July we will be aunt/uncle/cousins to a little girl, after a string of boys crossing two generations on my husband's side.

I have many, many more blessings in my life. I am working on putting together my conversion story (I'll try not to make it too long!); I can't wait to tell you how my parent's planted the seeds of God's love in my life, and how they grew into a deep love for God through my own Baptist faith and ultimately, through the Catholic Church.

I was planning on posting that tonight, actually, but I spent too much time playing that darn Word Twist on Facebook. I want to talk about lots of other things, too, like how I officially started my container garden today, and about my amazing CCD class that I teach.

So send a reply, post on your blog: What do you praise God for today?

(I'll take a look at that Mr. Linky thing that Jennifer has on her blog, and get it up and running for next time!)
