Counting your blessings!!!

Postby Guest » Sat Sep 15, 2007 1:55 pm

Wow how often we want things so bad that we forget what God is provided for us in other ways.
I set here this morning thinking why do I put so much effort into paticular
prayer and the Lord does give me signs but this prayer is just the one of many I focus more on. Then it hit me God is giving me answers to the ones I focus less on and I need to start counting the blessings.

So Iim thanking the Lord for the little blessings that has been provided to me since my grandson arrived.

Since the day before he was delivered to me in court.
I sold the last 2 puppies to one lady(they weren't cheap).
Then my health insurance kicked in that was unexpected. But people coming to my door asking if im going to sell that car in my driveway was a miracle I was going to sometime get around to putting and add in the paper but just have not done it. This man came to me I sold it!!!! Last night my youngest daughter going to the school dance and her friends mom sent a huge bag of clothes not knowing his size but they are perfect. See how when we want the bigger things to happen God is taking care of the little things we don't spend lots of time praying about.

Today I will not put anymore effort into having this huge prayer answered and I will focus on what God has provided for me. See even the little ones count in Gods eyes.

Count the blessings before you they are there even if we don't reconize them right away .

GOD IS AWESOME!!!!
Thank you Lord for all that you give me!!!!!

Praise God! He loves ya so much he's always looking after you so if that prayer request hasn't been answered you can believe he has a better plan or a better time for it!
