Blessings
Read: Psalm 119:33-40
At the start of last year I began
praying and reading first thing in the morning: the Bible, Living
Water from a Deep Well and Tony Dungy's book – Uncommon Life. All
three were daily readings.
I started praying for understanding
of what I was reading and then a few specifics – two were miracles
(former Associate Pastor Jack Mannschreck often said it's OK to pray
for a miracle) so I have been. When I do I am reminded of a line from
a country song (I like the version by Don Williams) "It might be
hard for the devil to do, but it would be easy for You"
At the end of last year as I
prepared to pray and read I looked at the Christmas tree and knew how
good we have it. The tree and the wrapped gifts under it told me so.
The family is well and doing fine and I realized I could not count my
blessings – I don't know numbers that high. It shouldn't take
writing a devotion to bring those thoughts to mind – and I am sure
it won't from now on.
