I am so richly blessed! I woke up this morning in a comfortable bed. I have so many clothes I have choices on what to wear when. My air conditioning keeps me cool on these hot Florida summer days. I do not worry about eating, although I should probably eat less, again choices. I was sitting on my lanai enjoying the quiet and watching birds when my lawn guy started weed whacking in the yard. Being able to afford a lawn guy is a blessing, too, of course. So that’s a reminder that before I complain about the inconvenience of having to go inside to avoid the dust and noise while the yard is being trimmed, I should see the blessing it is. And I should do that on all occasions, to look for the blessings that God has given me.So the rest of this week I will come back here and blog those blessings.
A prayer copied from Meditations:
Dear God, our Father in heaven, we thank you for your goodness to us. You have made us and given us all we have and all that we are—our bodies and souls, our faculties, our health and strength —as well as all we need for our physical well-being.
You have given us your Word to show us the way of truth, your Son to be our Savior, your forgiveness to wipe away our sins, as well as all we need for our spiritual well-being. For all these blessings we thank you.
Continue to bless us, we pray you. Hear us in Jesus' name. Amen.
