Blessings

Read: Jeremiah 29:11-13

Think of all the times God has influenced and blessed you...

That time:

When you won your first race,

When you aced a test,

When you got into that school you wanted,

When you saw and were able to appreciate your first sunrise, or sunset,

When you found the love of your life,

When you held your first child, or second, or third, or all of them,

When you got that job you tried so hard to earn,

When your first tragedy befell you and you were surrounded and supported by your family and friends,

When you loved so deeply you wanted to burst,

When you were faced with a tough decision and made the right one despite how hard it was,

When you were able to be the shoulder someone else needed to cry on,

And when you were able to share all of your blessings with others through service, gifts, time, support, work, love...

In so many ways God grants and helps and loves and provides and pushes and motivates... All are blessings.
