The Little Things

Tonight's dinner preparation was a bit of a workout. There was LOTS of chopping.

As I was chopping I just started thanking God. I realized that there are many people who can NOT chop.

It may be painful for them to grip the knife.
They may not have enough strength to cut the thick carrots.
They may not be able to stand for as long as I stood while chopping.
They may not have anything TO chop.

Yes, in something even as simple as preparing dinner, I had a praise on my lips...because I realize that NOTHING should be taken for granted.

So as I thank God for continued eyesight (which I do EVERYDAY), I've also thanked Him on this day for the ability to simply prepare a meal.

I praise God for the Big and the Little things...because He deserves the praise in ALL.

Let the DIALOGUE begin! What's something small that you think people take for granted, yet YOU don't?

Talk to me!

Til next time...

Psalm 34:1

So today I thought I'd do a little something different. Instead of complaining about all the things that are wrong in my life, I want to focus on the fact that I am BLESSED, regardless of my circumstance.

Although I am completely unfulfilled in my current job, I am BLESSED to have a job.
My son broke his arm last month and thanks to the fact that I have a job, my insurance covered the majority of the expense. Without my job, who knows how much it would have cost. I tell you this much, it would have cost more that what I have.

Although I only have $9.00 in my bank account right now, I am BLESSED.
We have enough food to get us through the week, and I have enough spare change to pay for gas so that I can get to work these next 4 days. The lights are on and we are sleeping in our own beds in our own home. Not many could make it on the little that we have, but I know that God is a provider...always has been, always will be, so I'm not worried.

Although I'm single with no prospects of a boyfriend or husband in sight, I am BLESSED. Yes, a man in my life would be nice, but I realize that this life may just consist of "me, myself and I" for the rest of my life. Ya know what...I love me, and I'm okay with living with just me if God so chooses. I don't understand why He's chosen for me to be alone and I've gotten tired of asking. So, it is what it is, and whatever it is...I'm still BLESSED.

As I type the letters on this screen I can see each and every letter as it shows up. I am BLESSED. People take for granted the fact that they are able to SEE. Some people have never once given thought to the fact that when they open their eyes they are able to see. I never EVER take my eyesight for granted. I thank God for the ability to see each and every morning when I wake up, and every night when I lay my head down to go to sleep. May after you read this, you should too.

Oh, I could go on and on, but for now, I will just leave it at this: I will bless the Lord at ALL times!

Rich, Poor, Employed, Unemployed, Single, Married, Sick, or Healthy...I WILL Bless the Lord at ALL times.

Let the DIALOGUE begin! Do you bless the Lord when things are going well? How 'bout when they're not going so well?

Talk to me!
