Acknowledging Your Blessings

"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you" -- Numbers 6:24-25 (NKJV)
 
Today, you will take one more step on your life's journey.  Today offers one more opportunity to be genuinely thankful for your blessings. The coming day is a canvass upon which you can compose a beautiful work of art if you choose to do so.
 
Norman Vincent Peale observed, "The life of stress is difficult. But the life of thanksgiving - a life that comes from a positive attitude - is the easiest type of existence."  And those words apply to you.
 
So today, look for things to be thankful for. If you look carefully, you won't need to look very far.  And remember:  when it comes time to count your blessings, nobody can count them for you.
 
"God's kindness is not like the sunset - brilliant in its intensity, but dying every second. God's generosity keeps coming and coming and coming"  -- Bill Hybelt
 
Lord,  we have more blessings than we can count, and we praise You for Your gifts.  Let us use our talents and our possessions for Your glory and for Your Son. Amen.
