Be Grateful

Psalm 148:11-13
You kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all who govern on earth; Young men and women too, old and young alike. Let them all praise the Lord’s name, for his name alone is exalted, majestic above earth and heaven.

Stop for a moment and consider all your blessings. Look back at your life and all the amazing, wonderful people who made a difference. Without them…you would not be the person you are today. Look at the blessings that surround you now. Your senses are immersed in gifts from God. Each breath is a gift. Yes…each of us has struggles. But at the same time…God never stops showering us with free gifts of love, mercy, grace, forgiveness and compassion. It is only through the struggles that we can truly experience God’s unconditional love. God is so close to each of us. At our deepest core…our deepest essence…is God. Our Creator has loved each of us into existence and will never abandon us. How amazing is the One who made us!
