It would be lovely If I could think of a better, more "writer-esque" title, but God's blessings thankfully don't require embellishment.
The past month or so has been filled with glorious blessing, and I feel if they aren't written anywhere, they will be overlooked, forgotten, and I frequently feel the need for more gratitude. In myself, in our world. We take so much for granted, and to borrow a phrase from a recent sermon, "What do we have, that God has not given us?" Me, nothing. Nothing at all.
I need this written down, to come back to when things are not quite so rosy, when God's favor is hard to see, when the outlook looks dim, to be reminded to not be disheartened.
In only the last few month, disease has been abated, the call to war has been avoided, financial concerns have been lifted and depression, anxiety and mood issues are all being addressed and relieved. What could have been a very ugly result to a bad accident was averted, and all of these things in my immediate family. The details aren't nearly as important as our response, the recognition of all that is good and beautiful in our lives right now.
