I woke up with two things on my mind this morning. Two things that are making me sit here and grin from ear to ear.

1. I woke up with this song playing in my head. A sweet soundtrack from the past – a sweet reminder. 🎼Jesus loves me this I know. For the Bible tells me so.🎼 As children we are taught these simple words to simple songs in hopes that we will understand and remember them. Then we grow up. We grow up and things get hard. Situations arise and we tend to forget how simple the message really is. Jesus loves us. The Bible says so. That’s reason to smile big, which brings me to the second thing that’s on my mind.

2. Count your blessings, y’all. Look around. Open your eyes. Count the things that you do have – not the the things that you don’t. Im breathing. Jesus is in my heart. I’m sitting on my couch with my warm coffee, a warm blanket, and sweet puppies asleep beside me. Down the hall – two sweet babies and the coolest guy I ever met (that I got to marry). On the radio – praise and worship music. In my heart and mind – a God that loves me in spite of me. A God full of hope and love.

Guys, no matter how your day plays out try and keep this hope in the forefront of your mind – Jesus loves you. That’s good, good news. That’s something to be happy about. It really is that simple.

Count your blessings.
