Not Lucky but Blessed

Loving the Lord is one of the most pleasing and heartwarming relationships we will ever have. He is kind, understanding and slow to anger. His forgiveness is continual and He does not seek revenge or wish us ill.

Doesn’t this make you wonder why more don’t praise His name and give thanks for all they have in their lives? Are we so self-centered that we ignore the everyday miracles and bounty in our lives.

When I say bounty I do not necessarily mean great financial means or large homes. I am not talking about tangible things but heavenly gifts. We are given the gift of friendships, talents and skills and our faith that guides our lives.

We are not “lucky” but blessed. God is with it us throughout the day…do you seek Him? Whether we are enjoying the fruits of our labors or enduring the obstacles and potholes God continues to be with us. All we need to do is reach out…begin that conversation.

It is the most satisfyng and rewarding relationship we will ever cultivate. As we begin this week let’s remember to thank our Lord for all we have…all we strive for... and all that is waiting for us. As we walk hand in hand with our Lord we are lifted up with strength, resilience and the spirit of God.

Psalm 16:8 I keep the Lord in mind always. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Stay constant with God; keep your faith alive; be humble always.

Smiles & Blessings,
Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
