Thanks for participating! It is such a blessing to read these - as it was to do it myself. It brings tears to my eyes to think of how really WONDERFUL the Lord is to us!

ps. I really liked "28.He lead me into a valley where I learned to lean on him" - but also hands, and a sane mind - do we ever think to stop and thank Him for these things?

It is a true blessing to ponder on all the things the lord has did for us, I know when I have been saved 50 years like one of the ladies I will be just as apt to find that many reasons why I love the lord, thank you for the blessing of searching my heart to see all he did for me.

Awesome reasons!

Beautiful list Barbara! How PRECIOUS our Saviour is!! I had to look at the date you were saved and really think...the LORD saved me in July too, but it was 1972! (I was not quite 5 years old, but I remember it very well)...

How wonderful that you recognize the hand of the LORD in all those things in your life...that brings glory to HIM!! May HE give you many more years to serve HIM and proclaim HIM to others!

Blessings,
Camille
