Blessings

I praise You, Lord, for showering me with so many blessings TODAY!

For beautiful, delicious, sustaining food:

For comfortable friends of many years (like those visiting right now).

For stunning fall colors in the treetops.

For graceful swans dotting the lake with their elegance.

For clear blue skies, brilliant sunshine, and (as night fell) an almost-full moon.

For a well-written, and inspiring, book to read.

For the loyalty of family members who insist on loving me.

For people to serve.

For increasing wisdom about what matters and what doesn’t.

For emerging possibilities that seemed impossible not so long ago.

For lessons learned.

For a renewed heart.

For the ability to trust You.

For Your unfailing work in my ongoing transformation.

For challenges that turn me back again and again to You.

For Your Holy Spirit’s presence within me.

For surprises.

For quiet.

For desire.

For strength.

For understanding.

For patience.

For love.

For faith.

For HOPE that is not a mere wish or yearning, but a promise.
