Read I feel gratitude for simple blessings

As I lift my eyes to the skies, I sink deep into a state of gratitude. It’s the Lord who loves me, who created all things seen and unseen. He knew me in my mother’s womb and ordained all of by days before one of them came to be. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me to comprehend. I know that full well. This posture takes my mind to each blessing that is presented before me by Holy Spirit. I think about the small things I enjoy in the day-to-day of every day. Even the simplest of blessings remembered help me develop the practice of gratitude.

Before I retire to bed each night, I consciously assess how I feel - physically, mentally, and emotionally. I work through any unresolved feelings and choose to forgive any offence. I choose to not go to bed angry and give the enemy a foothold in my life. Other days, I go through that exercise without identifying a single pain. It is a good feeling to know I’m in the right place with both God and others.

When I consider the meals that I have several times each day, I recognize the blessing. In 2024, earning more than $30,000 a year puts me in the top 1% of the world’s wealthiest. While it shocks be to know there are so many who lack, I am blessed that food and other necessities are plentiful in my life. I support those who effectively provide for those who go without. Planting my seed in good soil, I do what I can to help whoever I can. I don’t forget I am blessed to be a blessing. I am generous with what God has blessed me with.

I notice and say thanks each time someone does a kind gesture for me. I know how difficult it is to look beyond one’s challenges and focus on being kind to someone else. My spirit is grateful when another person takes the time to be nice to me. Experiencing the beauty of living is exhilarating. I look to see what God loves about people and compliment them on what I see.

As I give thanks for my wonderful life, I am filled with joy and satisfaction. I am overflowing with love and warmth and am trusting my good Father, who provides all I need. I cast my cares on Him because He cares for me. Life is good because God is good and He’s in a good mood. I know I need to give thanks in all circumstances, and when I’m filled with Holy Spirit, it’s natural for me to give thanks for all circumstances.

Today, quiet time provides the occasion to meditate on the precious blessings that He has given to me. My life is golden because there is so much to be grateful for.

Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:

  1. How easy is it for me to identify simple blessings when I feel unsettled?
  2. How do I show appreciation for the little things I feel thankful for?
  3. Do I worry about nothing, pray about everything and give thanks in all things?

I was asked if I had further study on god as Father. The good news I do-just look below. The problem that many have is that we’ve all had imperfect fathers, so to understand God as Father, we can have difficulties. When we come from homes with silent or absent or abusive fathers, we may not naturally be able to relate to God as Father. But that’s a profound way He has revealed himself to us, and how Jesus taught us to address Him. Here’s some of the ways I’ve cover emphasized God as Father. Podcasts, Live Cast and

I figured it was the group I grew up in, so we’re the only ones I should probably poke fun at. Apparently some people didn’t’ know that about me. One day I came back into the class with a fresh cup of coffee before the break was over. There was a group in the back corner and I went to see what was going on. One of the guys turned to me and said, “Can you believe these guys still think tongues is still a gift for today?” “Hey me too!” I laughed, “I pray them every day!” Then I challenged, “How do you strengthen yourself
