Today, in the midst of a busy season in my life, I pause to reflect on the many blessings I have received. Many times, life’s business and our hectic schedules cause us to miss the beauty of “being”. We have been blessed to wake up, breathe in fresh air, eat a delicious breakfast, find nice clothes in our closet, have a refreshing conversation with a friend, enjoy coffee with our spouse, sing in the shower, drive to work, kiss our children and the list goes on. God has blessed us with so many things that many of us take for granted. So today, I take a moment to be grateful and realize that God lavishes His love on us in so many ways. His protection, provision, and peace follow us where ever we go. Before you ask for more things, or meditate on what you don’t have, take a moment and think about what you DO have. Think about all the things that are right in your life. Marvel at your blessings and continue to have an attitude of gratitude.
