Bakers Beach
My kids and I drove out to Bakers Beach today to meet Christine Leong (my personal photographer), who I have asked to take our pictures for the second to the last day of Blessings 365. I owe her much gratitude and love for doing such a wonderful job!
It's no accident that I chose the Golden Gate Bridge to be our backdrop for today's blog. Blessings 365 has been a "bridge" to reach God, to touch lives, to create new friends, to encourage a weary soul, to grow more thankful, and to appreciate the small things in life. It has been my key to contentment.
My family has been very supportive and ever so patient with me as I have tried to meet my 12 o'clock deadlines every night to blog my daily blessings. It's just too bad that Jon couldn't be in this picture with us. But he has been my silent strength each day as he spurs me on.
I have had so much fun doing this project! For the most part, I have jumped for joy over all the wonderful blessings that I have been able to post! From the smallest smiles to the biggest laughters, God has instilled within me an inner joy that no one will ever take away.
At times, I have found myself alone on this project, not knowing who are still reading and following me. There has been countless times when I have wanted to give up for it has been an almost impossible endeavor to finish. Sometimes it has been very trying to have to blog a blessing when I have had such a terrible day. But God never fails to bring in someone or something to keep me going. I may never know where my ripples may reach, but I just need to keep making those waves.
Just when I have nothing else to give out, God fills my hands with love that overflows again. I have found these heart rocks over this pass year. Each one represents a special time and place. I have always said that if I go looking for love, I will always find it.... AND I DO!
So once again, God reminds me to count my blessings ... even those that are disguised as burdens. The hardest things in your life brings about the biggest blessings. 
Each little act of kindness will bridge those who need to find God. I have been given this great honor to be a bridge to those who I may never meet and to those who I love dearly. But who am I to have been given such a task? I am so unworthy. I just know it's because of God's grace, I have accomplished these beautiful blogs of blessings. 
Out of all the heart-felt blessings that I have shared with you all...
This one has to be my favorite...
And I praise God that Christine's images today
are the ones that I will enjoy forever!
So from my HEART to YOURS ... may I just say THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ... for coming along on this journey with me. Tomorrow will be our last day together on BLESSINGS 365. But it won't be our last day as friends. We will always have our bridge to connect us. Please come back tomorrow so I can give you a farewell hug.
What you have done is amazing. Thank you.
