God is good isn't He? Even amidst sad or trying times, we have SO much to be thankful for. Whether it is a mug, a favorite quilt or even a pen that writes nicely, I have so many blessings in my life. Satan wants us to focus on what may be the trials or tough times in our lives. When we look away from those things and focus instead on our blessings, we notice so many truly wonderful things (not just material items) we have in our lives that help to make our journey through this life one that is joyful or even just a little more pleasant than it might otherwise be. The great majority of our blessings are either free (such as God's incredible gift of salvation, His living Word, our family, friends, etc.) and so many more blessings are tiny, insignificant items that everyday we seem to take for granted such as our computer chair, a pen that writes without leaking or skipping, a clean kitchen floor  , etc.I would like to challenge anyone who might read this entry to take time today and name 5, 10, 20 or more blessings. In spite of what the circumstances may be in your life right now, I think you will find it hard to not find 20 or more blessings in your life. As for me, ~~ today I am especially thankful for the opportunity to have guests in our home. Last night we were able to have a wonderful couple stay here. We had a couples banquet at our church last evening and the guest speaker and his lovely wife stayed here for the night. They had stayed here back in the summer for a night or 2 and it was so good to have them back again. - What a blessing it is to have a spare room and good friends to come visit! ~Penni |
