I sit here this morning blessed one because I sit here sipping my coffee listening to the raindrops gently fall on my roof, that being a blessing in itself. But the fact that I have a home that keeps me warm and dry is a good place to start.
I was talking with God, reflecting is more like it and I found myself asking the Holy Spirit to blend with mine, that I long for a gentler me, a warmer me, a nicer me. You see I can be a handful and I’m a bit spoiled.
Hence, the attitude of gratitude!
Dear Lord our Father In Heaven,
You ask us to be humble. You ask us to be meek. You ask us to be grateful. I ask you for your forgiveness! I traipse through life often overlooking the many blessings surrounding me, taking for granted the eases in my world.
I forget to be thankful for the people in my life that take care of me, support me, love me and share their lives with me.
I overlook too often the comforts you have blessed me with; warm clothes when it’s cold, shoes that are designed for my tired wore out old feet. The glasses that give me perfect vision and the husband who supplies how I am able.
A washer and dryer at my fingertips, a stove and an oven, hot running water, and electricity.
Medications that keep my body functioning correctly, food! I have a car that is reliable and a card that keeps the gas tank full. I have a spouse who takes good care of me that I often take for granted and fuss about when he leaves the clothes on the floor rather than being mindful of the beautiful hardwood floors!
Lord, I am spoiled. I change the word spoiled to loved when referring to my grandchildren so this morning I wish to recognize and say a humble thank you Lord for all the good things in my life thank you that I am loved. In your beautiful name Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen
I hope you have a blessed day. I wish for you a day of peace and thankfulness, even if it means going to work, be thankful you have a job! Thank you for joining me. 🥰
