A blog to bless and encourage as well as updates on www.ablessedthing.com: A Blessed New Year

Happy New Year everyone!! Welcome to 2011. I am so excited about all the great things that I know God will do in our lives for this upcoming year. My husband Greg and I always start out our New Year by fasting and prayer on January 1st. We pray for His blessings, direction, prosperity and so much more. We started doing this last year and I cannot tell all of the things that God did for us. Ok, you might think that we are crazy but we clean house spiritually ( if you wanna know more about spiritual house cleaning, let me know ), we then go around and anoint with oil our doorways, and any other place where God would lead us, we also anoint the four corners of our property. It was so funny, last spring my roses and all my other plants bloomed like never before, and then last fall I had several mum plants in my flower bed that I had planted the year before and they were the most pitiful plants that you have ever seen but, much to my surprise, last fall they bloomed to about 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet tall, they were beautiful and I couldn't believe it. Greg then reminded me that we had anointed the four corners of our property and that was just God blessing. Although we are already into January 2011 it is not too late for you to set aside a few hours one day to fast and pray for this new year.

Back in December we had our very first home show with a lovely lady, Pat Lewis and her family. The show went great, we sold some things and had a great time of fellowship.

We have now added some great new rhinestone and swirl cross tops to the store, a couple of them would be great for Valentines Day.
