I am blessed!

 


There are times we just have to recognize it.  Today is one of those days for me.  From the calls or text, to the messages from so many, it is so evident to see how God has placed in my life some incredible people.  Has also given blessing, upon blessing.


I mean it is easy to get negative.  It is easy to see the down side or even to dwell on what should have been.  All the while God is working and blessing all around us.  Look at the sunrise or the sunset.  Remember the conversation.  


Stop taking making it so hard on yourself to life each day.  Stress takes minutes off of our lives.  Struggles rob us of life to live and to enjoy.  Literally what we dwell on will take the joy we can have.


I choose joy.  I will choose to recognize the blessings.  Look at them.  


Ephesians 1:3  NLT

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.


There is the truth.  We are blessed.  As God’s children and as followers of His we have been given the spiritual blessings that we can only recognize as we see and stay close to Him.


Since we know we are blessed, may we choose to be a blessing to others!


1 Peter 3:9  NLT

Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing.


Have a great day.  I am!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
