What did I do?

So, what did I do right? I don't understand, Lord. How did I find so much favor in Your eyes? I"m just a lowly sinner, but You found me worthy of so many wonderful blessings :) You gave me a husband that loves You, and loves me unconditionally. No matter what I do, he still loves me. He still desires me. You gave me two very amazing boys. JRay, who is so in love with You! Who desires to serve You, and tell others about You! He is 7, but so not afraid to share his love of You with everyone he comes in contact with. He's not ashamed to love on his momma in front of others, either :) He makes me so very very proud every day. When he prays, he prays for others, for everyone else, but himself. He is so unselfish. I am blessed. Then, you gave me Nate. Wow... in less than a year, this little man has shown me mountains of love. He is sooooo much like his Bubby. He keeps me moving, he keeps me crying, he keeps me humbled.

Again, dear God, I ask You, what did I do? Nothing good. What YOU did was unbelievable. You died for me. A pitiful, sorry sinner. And then, as if that weren't enough, You bless me DAILY with so many amazingly unbelievable blessings. I will praise You, O Lord.

Psalm 118

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

2 Let Israel say:
"His love endures forever."

3 Let the house of Aaron say:
"His love endures forever."

4 Let those who fear the LORD say:
"His love endures forever."

5 In my anguish I cried to the LORD,
and he answered by setting me free.

6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

7 The LORD is with me; he is my helper.
I will look in triumph on my enemies.

8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in man.

9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in princes.

10 All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

11 They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

12 They swarmed around me like bees,
but they died out as quickly as burning thorns;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

13 I was pushed back and about to fall,
but the LORD helped me.

14 The LORD is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.

15 Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
"The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!

16 The LORD's right hand is lifted high;
the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!"

17 I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

18 The LORD has chastened me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.

19 Open for me the gates of righteousness;
I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.

20 This is the gate of the LORD
through which the righteous may enter.

21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
you have become my salvation.

22 The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone;

23 the LORD has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.

25 O LORD, save us;
O LORD, grant us success.

26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.
From the house of the LORD we bless you. ^[a]

27 The LORD is God,
and he has made his light shine upon us.
With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession
up ^[b] to the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.

29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
