Blessed
Today's post is very simple. I am blessed. I am beyond thankful today as I reflect on the many blessings in my life. Without a doubt, I an grateful for an amazing husband, 4 beautiful children whom are compassionate and passionate and who serve the Lord in every aspect of their lives.
Of course I am grateful for an amazing, smart, handsome, funny, perfect grandson. ( I could go on, but I'll try to show some restraint)
I am grateful for an amazing family, who stands together through thick and thin.
I am grateful for a just, merciful and faithful God and I am grateful that I can have a personal relationship with Him.
I am grateful to live in a country that is FREE.
What are you grateful for today?
I know that life is challenging and I know that there are stresses around every corner. It is easy to get caught up in "what I don't have". When we compare ourselves to others, isn't it funny how we usually "compare up". We see what we don't have compared to others, we feel sorry for ourselves, or we feel angry at the situation, or we feel that life just is not fair.
Guess what? you are correct, life is not fair!!
Use this list to make your comparison......
If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of the world.
If you have money in the bank, your wallet, and some spare change you are among the top 8% of the wordl’s wealthy.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the agony of imprisonment or torture, or the horrible pangs of starvation vou are luckier than 500 million people alive and suffering.
If you can read this message you are more fortunate than 3 billion people in the world who cannot read it at all.
Now, readjust your mindset and spend today giving thanks, really giving thanks!!
You are Blessed!!
Happy Thanksgiving,
Shelly
