Above all, follow His call.

Sometimes it is so hard.

Blessings. Most of my prayers include thanks for the many blessings God has given me. Honestly though, when I say those words, I am often thinking about the blessings I like. It's easy to be thankful for a loving family, a warm home, a friend.

But everything is a blessing, really. Even the hard stuff. Sometimes we realize later. Sometimes not. But God is cool enough to keep blessing us anyway.

When He leads me I want to follow. More than I want to do anything on this earth, I want to follow Him. Right now, I am giving thanks for every blessing. Every blessing.

Later I may cry or whine a little. I could be wrong, but I think it's okay to allow real emotions to have their moments. But snot is messy and nobody wants to hear me whine so I keep on following.

Because I know in my heart that the very greatest blessing of all is not the gifts themselves but The One who loves me enough to give them. So whatever He wants I want. No gift should be put above The One who gives it.


Right now I'm indulging in a moment of peace. God is reminding me He knows what He is doing. There's great comfort in knowing whatever I do today He'll know what to do with it.

My hope is to make His job as easy as possible.




Amen
