I was going to write this closer to Thanksgiving, but God had other ideas. It's important that I do it now, given some things that I've been dealing with.
I was just sitting outside thinking about how, if I started counting my blessings now, I would still be doing that on Thanksgiving Day. Because they are too numerous to count.
This is what came to my mind: If I wake up in the morning, that means Go blessed me with rest, a place to sleep, and a room to sleep in. If I get up and take a shower, He blessed me with running water and a bathroom. If I can fix my coffee, He blessed me with electricity and a kitchen. And when I can sit down, rested, clean, and with a hot drink and do my Bible study, that means I can walk, read, and write.
Now keep in mind that this all happens in less than 10 hours. I still have 14 hours to realize what I've been blessed with!
The most important thing of all, is that when you read this you will know that I have been blessed with a great family.
Sometimes we all get caught up in the craziness of life and the way the world thinks that we should live it, and we forget to, "Be still." Then we wonder why things aren't working out or going our way.
So take a minute to stop and think about what God has blessed you with this holiday season. Just going through one day and noticing everything that happened will amaze you! Don't sweat the small stuff, but pay attention to it. Because sometimes those are the greatest blessings we get.
So I pray that all of you have a Happy, Safe, & Blessed Thanksgiving!
Love to you all!
