YOU ARE BLESSED
I will bless them and the places surrounding my hill. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessings.
Ezekiel 34:26 NIV
If you sat down and began counting your blessings, how long would it take? A very, very long time! Your blessings include life,
freedom, family, friends, talents, and possessions, for starters. How about the many friendships among your shipmates? But, your
greatest blessing, a gift that is yours for the asking, is God’s love.
Today, begin making a list of your blessings. There’s no way you will be able to make a complete list, but take a few moments
and jot down as many blessings as you can. Then give thanks to the Giver of all good things: God. His love for you is eternal, as are
His gifts. And it’s never too late to offer Him thanks. God’s generosity keeps coming and coming and coming.
A Prayer for Today
Lord, I have more blessings than I can possibly count; make me mindful of Your precious gifts. You have cared of me, Lord and I will
give thanks to You always. Today, let me share Your blessings and love with others, just as You shared them with me. Amen.
