Blessings For The Day

Lately, each day I get up, I realize spring is just around the corner (getting closer by the day). Each morning the day gets a little longer and a bit brighter. Today the sun is shining and there is so much heat in the sun. What beauty and majesty and hope! God is so good. All we have to do is look around to see His hand everywhere. The painted sky at night: seriously, who could think to put that many colours in the sunset but the Almighty Himself? The beauty of a child sleeping soundly. The laughter of a friend you haven't seen for a long span of time. So many wonderous things God has blessed us with and we so often don't take the time to appreciate it because we are so busy. I encourage you to take the time to notice and praise the Lord for the little things in your life that you take for granted. Even the things that don't seem so great right now. Thank the Lord for the good and the bad. Thank Him for the triumphs and the trials. He has created them all. He wants to do something wonderful in your life. Give it all to Him, praise Him always. Change your outlook and He can change your heart. "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NKJV emphasis mine).
