Matthew 13:16 But God has blessed you, because your eyes can see and your ears can hear!

I am married to a very humble man. He will tell you we are so blessed, why would we even want for more. Of course that is what he tells me when our air conditioning is messed up and I’m complaining. But that is his philosophy. He is very content, even when I’m a stressed out mess. Sometimes it calms me down and sometimes I just want to throw a fit. (just joking) Sometimes it is hard to see how blessed we are when the world is throwing crap at us all of the time. We can be like the seed that was thrown in the thorn bushes. We know that God loves us but evil tries to poke and prod us into worrying about all of our trouble.

I’m the world’s worst at this. I try to take on more than I can, or problems arise that my self righteous being can’t fix on my own. I try everything possible, then will reluctantly turn it over to God. I let the world blind my eyes to my blessings. I let my joy be stolen. I’m working doing better about trusting God. I can tell you he is always there for you but do I take my own advise, not often. I am doing much better about realizing how blessed I am and that God is in control of my life. As a Christian, I am in unchartered territory for me right now. I’m learning more about Jesus than I’ve ever learned in my life. I’m amazed at how blessed we are, all of us. Even if you are in a bad situation, you are blessed. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, we are forgiven and loved, there is NOTHING that makes us worthy. So how blessed are you?

Count your blessings. My prayer life has converted from condemning myself for what I did wrong or what I should have done to Thanking God for all he has done in my life and for what he has in store for me and my family. Thank God for your blessings, even if you don’t think you have many. You are a work in progress, he knows we are human and we aren’t perfect but quit any negative and focus on the positive, it will get better.

I’m sorry it’s been a while. I’ve been suffering from some writer’s block. I’ve been feeding my soul with good preaching and learning of the bible and it’s hard to compete with what I’m feeding on J . So until next time, keep your head up, faith strong and remember you are greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved.
