With God all things are possible

| I remember to thank God for my family, friends, shelter, food, or when He heals a friend, but don't meditate on the abundant blessings He's given to me. " Abundunt blessings". Is certainly not a phrase I use every day, and I don't often see the things in my life as "blessings". I see them as their more mundane forms, truck, trailer, house.
But a few weeks ago, I started a Thankfulness Journal. Each day, I list at least five things that I am thankful for, and try not to repeat myself. It is amazing how many things I could list that I hadn't thought of before. It made me realize that God has truly blessed me abundantly. I have every thing I need, whether its material, spiritual or emotional.
I still have trials and struggles in my life, my life isn't perfect and problem free, but I can stand back and see abundant blessings God has given to me. I can also see that I don't thank Him enough for them.
Do you believe God has blessed you abundantly? What do those words mean to you? What are things or who are people in your life who are part of those abundant blessings?
2 Corinthians 9-8 and God is able to bless you abundantly , so that in all things at all times , having having all you need, you will abound in every good work.
Faith . Start a thankful journal. Every day, list a few things you're thankful for. It'll keep you aware of the ways God blesses you, and how His blessings are richer than anything we could ask for or imagine.
For it is WITH God all things are possible
Father God , guide me today to do all things that bring glory and honor to You AMEN
Have a Very BLESSED, AWARE day of God BE THANKFUL AMEN
Few of my personal blessings:
Cancer free 11 years.
Debt free 5 years
Healthy and able to ride and compete, this last month after 5 years of patience, getting horses trained, seasoned, healthy, I have won checks every weekend PRAISE GOD! I will be 62 in December, in my mind I'm still 29 LOl
Married 17 years to my best friend we are happier now as we were when we got married
Being a vessel for Jesus, sharing my personal journey with others
Learning that being a Christian doesn't keep me from life trials, but PREPARES me to get through them , this has really changed my spiritual life, knowing that its all going to be ok no matter what.
I pray that each of God's messages , my personal journey somehow. Guides you in your life journey with Jesus AMEN

Location: In The Snow, AZ | Amen, Amen! It is so easy to take for granted what we have in our daily lives. It rarely happens these days, but to sit on the porch and watch the sun setting over the mountains is truly something. I am thankful for the fresh mountain air I get to breath in as I revel in Gods greatness. He has blessed me in more ways than I can count. Thank you for this message. | |
