Counting Blessings - day 8

1. Seeds to plant - It doesn't feel like it, but spring will soon be here.  Charlie had a mini green house stand and some things to plant for part of his birthday pressie and he can't wait to get everything planted.
2. Tissues - not a hanky fan myself!  
3. DVD's - Love to sit down to a good movie. 
4. The NHS - I know it's a long way off being a perfect health care system and there are times I can get very frustrated/upset over issues with lack of care, poor care, waiting times etc etc, but we are SO blessed to all have access to a free health care system.
5. Our Fellowship Group - our church has several different small groups that meet up weekly to build each other up, learn more about God and just get to know each other better.  We have been very blessed with the group we attend and we are thankful for each member.
6. Marriage - what a great plan of God's that was!  :)
7. Democracy - We are blessed to live in a nation that is not governed by dictatorship. 
8. Car Ferries - We are looking forward to hopefully visiting the Republic of Ireland this year!  Will be our first ever visit to Ireland.  :)
9. Draft Pillows - we have quite a draft in our house from the hall into the lounge, so I'm very thankful for our draft pillow.
10. Cling film (plastic wrap for my U.S. readers) - Such a handy invention!  Has kept Charlie's birthday cake nice and moist the last two days.
