A friend of our family is a self-taught musician and song-writer. One of his songs is titled “Blessings Abound“. I love this song because it reminds me that I have such an abundance of blessings from my heavenly Father. He daily lavishes these blessings upon me and yet, most times, I take them for granted. So I want to list a very few of the many blessings that abound daily in this life that God has given me:
Days that my family wakes up healthy and without pain
Hot coffee to drink while I read the Bible before the kids begin to awake
My husband and our marriage
My husband’s job
Food for breakfast
A local grocery store
A warm house
Eyes that see and ears that hear
God’s Word in my own language
Clothes to wear
A working washing machine and dryer
Christian radio that reaches our little town
Google Translator on my phone
Each of my 12 children, my daughter-in-law, and grandson
Friends that smile at me
Pets and pet food
Extended family that are willing and able to come visit us
God’s Son, and grace, and mercy, …
Wishing your a beautiful Thanksgiving celebration with an increasing awareness of God’s abundant blessings!!
