I am so blessed

Thank God for restoring my husband.
Except for His mercy I could be a widow today.

Titus, tell us your story. I can relate with you. If God had not restored my husband I would also be a widow today. But God is a prayer-answering, miracle-working, grace-giving God!! I have so much to be thankful for!!

What an awesome testimony thread! Thanks, Bro. Epley for sharing with us your blessings. God is soooooo good! I thank Him for my husband who is so anointed and yet so much fun to live with. We are truly best friends after 28 years. I thank Him for Godly parents and inlaws. I thank Him for my two kids who love God and are following His way. My daughter was wayward for a couple of years, but God graciously brought her back and she is working in ministry today. I am believing that my son will never have to go through any of that stuff, but will stay true to what he knows is right.

I thank God for a wonderful growing, alive church! The people are almost all new to the Spirit filled movement, so they are so hungry, they are insatiable! Coming from Catholic, Church of Christ, Baptist, Presbyterian, etc. backgrounds, they feel like they have been set on fire (and they have!!).

I am content and happy. My wife is a class A cook. We enjoy each other's company after nearly 32 years. I would rather be with her than anyone. The saints I pastor are so kind to us they have us spoiled. I am in good health. Just wanted to reflect on the good things God has sent our way I am so undeserving.

I just had someone the other day remind me of something. A friend told me that she remembers 21 years ago when I shared with her one night how I was in Love with my future wife.

SHe told me she remembers my eyes getting big and looking so happy.

You know I told that friend before I told my future wife that I was in love with her.

It was so cool to have someone remember 21 years later how I looked and felt all those years ago.

It just made me think about today 20 years after being married, just how much that Love has grown...

I am blessed..........

I am blessed I was born and live in America. I knew all my grandparents and great grand-parents.

I am blessed to still be married to my wonderful husband. Knowing that I could have lost him last May makes every anniversary that much more special. 21 years now, folks! Thank you, Jesus.

And to have two wonderful sons to drive me crazy. This is something that everyone told us we'd never have. What a gift. 17 & 13 and I am watching them and a whole gang of their friends out throwing snowballs at each other in our front yard right now. What a treasure.

I am blessed to have friends who have been my friends since I was in my teens. That is such a gift. Friends who have a history with you.

Most of all, I am blessed to have a God who walks with me every day, sharing each step, each secret, each thought, each hurt, each joy. Never leaving me alone. Who could ask for a better friend?!
