Why BlessingsBarb?

Choosing a name for my blog was a challenge. After much consideration, BlessingsBarb best represents my basic approach to life – that we should count our blessings, not our challenges. Here is one of my favorite verses in the New Testament:

Finally, my brothers, your thoughts should be wholly directed to all that is true, all that deserves respect, all that is honest, pure, admirable, decent, virtuous, or worthy of praise. (Phil. 4:8)

This blog will be directed to things that elevate our thinking, boost our confidence, and help us to appreciate all the many blessings we enjoy. I will share some of my personal observations, a dose of common sense, and some great resources that will help us all live lives of joy and peace.

Stay tuned for conversations about food, family traditions, book recommendations, time management, getting organized, to name a few. Feel free to make suggestions for topics. One of my strongest beliefs is that any challenge is made easier by having someone walk along the path with you. No one should feel alone. So let’s walk together as we count our blessings!

Blessings,
Barb
