A LOT

I talk about how blessed I am a lot, I know. But, there is absolutely no doubt that I am truly, truly blessed. I look around at all the blessings I have and I stand amazed and humbled at GOD'S goodness and mercy and grace. I am truly blessed and I give Him all the praise.

Why does GOD bless me so much? I don't know. Just because He can? Because He loves His children, even, in my case, His defiant, silly, children. He blesses us all with more than we could ever thank Him for but we so often allow the distractions in this life to steal the joy of our salvation; we allow the darkness of this world to push out the Light of this world.

Today's word is just a positive quote that I try to remember. It says, "Pray not only because you need something but because you have A LOT to thank GOD for!

GOD is always available. He is there to listen to our pleas anyplace, at any time. He knows what we need even before we ask. Yet, He listens to our deepest needs even when we can't put them into words. Yes, when we need something, pray! But, don't just stop there.

When you are talking to GOD, thank Him for all that He has given you and for all that He has done for you. I would dare say that if we started truly thanking GOD for all His many wonderful blessings, we would find out how truly blessed we are. I bet that if you start thanking GOD for all that you have, you'll find that you most definitely have A LOT to thank GOD for!

Be Blessed,
