Be Grateful!

:thumbup:BE GRATEFUL!

It's easy to forget to be grateful, to let daily worries distract you from the abundance that is yours. Mortgage payments, troublesome children, a looming deadline, a broken waterheater, a headache, even a burned pizza or a fallen cake can interfere with your appreciation for the blessings you have been given.

Inconveniences will pass, but God's Blessings and love will keep showering down on you.

I don't plan to preach to you each time I blog on here, but I am so grateful for every day I live now with the band. I am thankful for the compliments I recieve from my true friends when they see me and see how I have improved my life. It reassures me that I made the right decision and I will be ever so grateful for the Band and God in my life.:smile2:

    Janet, Preach on!! It encourages me and many others! I heard a wonderful message at church today myself and it was similar to what you just said. Wow! Rain on me Lord pour out your storehouse of blessings, it is there for all who believe. It is funny how we can get caught up in those things of everyday life and forget that if it's God's will it's God's bill!! I turn my financial situation over to him and he continues to bless me and it is wonderful to be his child. I am sooo Grateful and thank you for reminding me what a wonderful God I serve!

    I love "Rain down on me Lord pour out you storehouse of blessings"! I am going to focus on that today. I know the Lord has blessed me and has a room full of more blessings if I just have faith. Have a great day!
