Counting Our Blessings

It seems like lately that our friends have been kind of in a rut. There are several of our friends who have been going through some rough times - sicknesses, deaths, major life changes, etc. I just realized this the other day and have decided that Michael and I should be counting our blessings. So here are our blessings:
Our baby - We have both been able to feel his movement. Every appointment we've had we've been told that he is developing they way he is supposed to.
Each other - Michael and I continue to appreciate the fact that we have each other and we support each other in our lives. I would say that this is our biggest blessing, that we can rely on each other!
Our home - We have a wonderful home in which we can have friends and family over. We also have a nice room that will be ready for the baby in a couple of months!
Our Jobs - Michael and I both have stable jobs that we're both happy in. The fact that we aren't concerned with losing our jobs is a pretty big deal.
Our Health - Yes, we're both overweight but neither of us has any major health concerns.
Our Faith - We are able to share our faith with each other and we support each other in expanding our faith.
Our Families - Both of our families are EXTREMELY supportive of us as a couple and as our impending adventure as parents.
Our Friends - It's so nice to know that if we do have any problems or need any help we can call on our friends. It's also nice to know that our friends feel comfortable calling us too!
Right now, maybe because I'm pregnant, I just feel blessed and like we should focus on our blessings! I normally would never be like this because I tend to be too busy to focus on anything other than what's happening in the here and now but because of all that our friends are going through I decided that it was necessary to count our blessings. Hopefully some of our good fortune will spread to our friends! I hope and pray that soon that our various friends will have a little bit of break and start having more positive things happen rather than negative.
