Notice Your Blessings!

Each day is filled with so many blessings I doubt we'd be able to count them all. Our sight, hearing, taste, touch, and sense of smell are receptors of thousands of blessings at any given time!

Have you ever seen the sky so blue that it made you smile? How about the sound of laughter, the kind that is so uncontrollable and contagious you join in? Have you ever smelled dinner rolls loaded with butter fresh out of the oven? Have you tasted a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter's night while watching the wind blow from the warmth of your living room? Have you ever touched a rose petal to discover it's velvety cover and smelled the scent that comes from it being crushed?

Jump into today's blessings with abandon! Like a child throwing themselves into a pool on a hot summer's day! Run and jump! Let His grace and mercy flood over you as you sink into His love. Drench your entire being! Enjoy the gift and joy of today! 

And while you're at it, be sure to say "Thanks!"

Every Moment is a New Beginning

 "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJV

God will make a new way. Each year, each month, week, day, and even after each incident. If we have strayed, and gone onto the Freeway of Failure because we missed our exit, the Road to Righteousness, He will, if we come before Him in humility and repentance, forgive us and put us back on the Street of Salvation. It's never too late to start again. When practicing a pitch, it may take hundreds of throws again and again to get it just right. We must notice what the right throw 'feels' like. We must forget the wrong way and concentrate on the right way. So even in our everyday life, we are following what this verse says. So apply it to your life.

God will help us! We don't have to struggle! Just stop looking at the old thing. We can't move forward if one leg is in the past. Allow God to do a new and wonderful thing! He knows the way and will make it clear to you. We are so blessed by His compassion!

May God bless your day!  

Today

 "...and peace filled all the land. Once again laughter rang out, children played, and all was well once more."

God bless the United States of America!
