Our Blessings

I have often marvelled at my own attitude. For many years prior to grandchildren, I asked the Lord in endless petitions to bless me with many. Years previous I had also prayed for children. In His grace and mercy, He blessed me with 4 children and I currently have 7 grandchildren. As you are aware, my youngest son died at the age of 17 and my youngest child, my daughter, currently is not married so no family for her yet. I have been blessed with so many grandchildren through two sons and their lovely wives. At times when I am watching many of them at one time, I become weary. I have to check myself and remember that beauty that each one brings.

Such I think is also what our attitude should be with all the Lord has blessed us with. We often take things in our lives for granted and assume it will always be like that such as AC or running water, etc. As survivors of storms will say, that is not always the case. Decide this day to honor God in all things. Thank Him for His provisions and His mercies. None of us are worthy but we have all been blessed beyong measure.
