Thank God for small blessings

I have had so many small blessings in my day today that have lifted my spirits tremendously. Any other day, I might not have noticed but today everything around me seemed like God reminding me that He is with me.

Here are a few of the things that I am so thankful for today:

1. 1. A short line at Walmart. I don't know about your location, but I have to psych myself to go in this store. It's always crowded, kids are always screaming, and even though there are 100 lanes, only 2 are ever open. I hate it, but Target is so far away and sometimes it is not worth the drive. But then again, whatever I need from Walmart is usually not worth the stress. Anyway, today, no stress! I only got held up by a few stupid people (most of who were pregnant, by the way) Then, there was only one lady in front of me in the checkout line. Small miracle, I am sure of it.
2. A nail technician that wasn't busy and spent extra time on my foot massage.
3. A pregnant lady beside me at the nail salon (I am telling you, they are everywhere!) that struck up a conversation with me. I don't know how we got there, but somehow found out that she did IVF twice. She has a three year old at home and one due in July. She was so encouraging and loving. I needed to hear her success story.
4. New pink flowers blooming all over the neighborhood. I love spring! My crepe myrtles are beginning to bloom as well!
5. Not so small- but Rusty's dad is starting to feel a little bit better! He is still in the hospital on lots of antibiotics and pain meds. Thanks for your prayers and keep them up!
   
6. A new Hills episode on tivo. A new American Idol and a new Beauty and the Geek.
   
7. Lots of emails from my wonderful friends and family reminding us that we have lots of people praying for us and thinking of us! I feel so blessed to have so many people that love us and want to help during this time.
   
8. Tonight I get to go on a date with my husband. We are going to Kirby's to celebrate tomorrow's transfer and spend some quality time together. This has been a stressful few weeks and we need a date night. Plus, I really need to load up on blue cheese (wedge salad, topping on steak, in my potatoes) because after tonight, I am hoping to not be able to eat it for a while. (That's the official word, but I personally believe that all things in moderation is fine, so I will probably have a little here and there.)

Just wanted to share a few things that I noticed, in my day, that made me stop and thank God for his goodness. What are you thankful for today?
