Thinking on all the blessings we receive from God and today He has already begun to provide us with a wide assortment of blessings from the gift of 'this day' and it being filled with fresh mercies; to granting us the ability to breathe, and to move, and to have our being. The blessing of enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee and when ready I will prepare my breakfast with food He has blessed me with, a shower with fresh clean water(yet another blessing) and clothes to adorn with shoes on my feet. All are blessings we so easily take for granted.
How often, we take our blessings from God for granted. We take life for granted, not realizing that at any moment life could changed or even taken away leaving only memories behind for those who remain. God shows His Unconditional Love with so many blessings to us we cannot name them all! Blessings of protection, of provision, of family, of friends; blessings of health, of His forgiveness, of His watchfulness; and the list goes on and on and on.
My question is, "When do we stop and count our blessings?" When do we give God the love and praise He deserves for all He has done and continues to do in life for our good? When do we realize Who God really is and when do we give Him our complete heart, holding nothing back from Him? This is something each of us have to determine within our self as we count our blessings..
As you go through 'this day' He has given, notice the many ways you see God blessing you with, and tonight as you relax in your nice cozy bed, remember the roof over you head, and the climate controlled atmosphere; take a moment to look back and count the ways God has blessed your life throughout 'this day'; and I know if you really paid attention, it will surely surprise you at all the blessings God has given and all the ways He has sheltered you throughout 'this day'. And that is just for 'This Day.' Then as you begin to give Him thanks, you will feel yet another blessing sweep over your body; a feeling of His wonderful peace that passes all understanding that allows you to begin to relax in Him; yet another blessing....
So today as you've given Him praise for 'this day'; and you're beginning to remember those past blessings, go ahead and enjoy knowing that, as His child He cares for you much more than you can ever imagine! Just another blessing!
So enjoy this day He has blessed you with, knowing that God has you already covered in the palm of His hands(just another blessing). God loves you and so do I~~
