Forgotten Blessings

Forgotten Blessings

     In the world today many people, believers and non-believers, look for big miracles and blessings, I know I still do. We forget about all the little ones. I am always waiting and asking for my life to be different and in a big way. Lord bless me with a better house (mansion), better finances (billionaire), a nice car (new lifted truck), and so on. While we wait and pray and wait some more for the big stuff that we really want the Lord to bless us with it becomes hard not to become discouraged. Sometimes while we are waiting we see others who just go along however they see fit and regardless of the degree of rule breaking biblical and legally they continue to come out on top. They are dishonest, but end up with extra money, break driving laws and still end up with a better car and it goes on and on. Sometimes we ask the Lord to bless us in this way and that and then feel a sting when we see others with the things we covet. Sometimes we lose focus on God and start to look at the world and search for a way to fix our frustration. But what about the forgotten blessings?

     We are quick to see all that we do not have and all that we have not received, but we lag in all that is placed right in front of us. We forget about all the little things. That person who sent you a gift card to the store which paid for something you didn’t have the money for. The relative who knew your computer was down and picked you up a new one. The car that hit 200,000 miles, burns oil, leaks brake and transmission fluid, and yet it still starts up and goes for you. How about those of you with kids, the smiles on their little faces everyday, and when they get a booboo and you fix it for them, they see you as their hero. Or that blessing from that tithe you gave, even though you know you did not have it to give, and God covered you. All these little things, all these forgotten blessings that come to our lives daily we neglect to see and appreciate. Of course there is still one more and I think most forgotten, “Once again I am truly blessed, with the rising of the sun comes another day.”

Go big or go home. But when you go,   go with God ! ~KD~
