Today is another gift from God to His children. I don't know how the weather is where you are, but it is sunny here in Florida. Not real warm, but you don't need a coat.
God is so good to us, even when we don't deserve His goodness. Some went to sleep last night hungry, tired, with no bed to sleep in. Some went to bed and did not wake up this morning. Do you realize just how blessed those of us are that a still able to thank God for our health and well being?
We tend to go through our lives without a thought to all the blessing God surrounds us with on a daily basis. Those blessings we don't see or aren't even aware of. Remember the time the kids made you late leaving home for work and on the way you pass a terrible accident. You say to yourself, 'wow, if I would have been 5 minutes earlier, that could/would have been me'. Do you thank God for allowing the children make you late? How about the time you gave a dollar or two to a homeless person on the street and then found a $20 in that pair of jeans you hadn't worn in a couple of weeks.
It's the little blessings we forget to thank God for. When the big ones happen we want to tell the world about it, but the little ones we forget. However, we should tell about the little ones also. That gives people encouragement, showing that God blesses us in little ways many more time than in big ways.
Everyday God blesses us in so many ways that we take for granted. The first blessing we receive is when He wakes us in the morning. From that point on we are being blessed. Just think of an average day in your life and count the blessings. This should include every day activities that take place in your life. Don't forget the gas in the car to get to work or school; your job, even if you don't think you are paid enough or don't like your boss or co-worker(s); what about the clothes you put on this morning, and those you dressed your child(ren) in before they left for school. Are your parents still living, thank God, so many have lost one or both parents.
Do you see just how blessed you are, even if God has not answered your prayer for that big blessing. But ask yourself, have you being serving God in the manner that you should? Do you really think you deserve that big blessing? If you don't bother or think to thank God for the small things, how do think He feels about giving you a big blessing?
Just something to think about.
