Midnight, on a park bench alone with only the dead of night as his blanket he sleeps. The baby crying, tears streaming down her face.Her mother pulling her close trying to rock her to sleep because there is no food in the house to calm that aching tummy. A bedroom 6 feet by 6 feet housing a family of four.
How often do overlook? How much is taken for granted? In a world of wealthy and starving a world of leisure and lacking do you know what you have been given? I mean really given?
When was the last time you looked around at what you have been given in your life and was thankful? Not the kind of yeah that's nice but... no truly deep in the crevasis of your heart thankful? Living a life out of gratefulness and gratitude is a hard tension to maintain. Yet one that will help us realize the love given and shown to us.
Do we even realize the sacrifice that had to be made for those blessings? We will never fully understand it but how often do reflect upon that sacrifice? There was one life and that life cost everything so that we can have our lives of blessings.
I look at my life and am overwhelmed by each moment and everything I have and have been given. What about you? If you did a honest true survey of your life right now....
Who or what do the blessing(s) in your life look like?
