This time of year we think
about ‘counting our many blessings’. It's easy to look at all of our stuff all
our friends and family, our homes, our jobs and understand the need to be grateful.
Yet do we realize that
our greatest blessing might just be what we don’t have?
If we are free from disease.
If we are not at war. When we don’t suffer physical persecution for our faith.
When we don’t have fear of our government. When we don’t have toxins in our
water or poisons in our food. When we don’t
have crimes overrunning our streets. When we don’t have want for food or
supplies.
We have it so good because
we don’t have so much that others do. And for that we should be thankful.
Thankful and generous. One can’t truly be
grateful for what he has if he is not willing to share that with those that do
not.
If we count what we have and all the things we
are not burdened with, it would be asinine not to realize that we are a blessed
people. These blessings have come from our God on High. In Him, we should give
thanks!
Psalms 103:2
Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of
His benefits;
