Today is full of blessing to be found, just as any other.
I took a moment flying on my way home to CT from FL to look out over the clouds and thank God. Just as I had in the ocean the day before, and on my run amongst palm trees the day before that. When you take time to count your blessings it really lifts you up to stop and take note just how fortunate you are.
As if my list of blessing couldn’t expand any bigger…. it is about to. The very best kind of blessings. NEW LIFE!
Every time I hear of new life it nearly makes me weep. Even when it is just a friend of a friend, or someone I see on Facebook. I am sure you are wondering why a new baby that I will never even meet would bring me to my knees? because it is the best reminder of life and God. The beauty and the understanding of our existence all wrapped up in a little swaddled baby burrito.
New life is joyous.
My one and only sister is about to have her second baby. My sister who has been my biggest cheerleader and defender (even though I spent at least 6 years of my life telling on her every move) is about to bring new life. A swaddled baby burrito I can not wait to hold. A true, hands on, all loving blessing to remind us all of God’s glory.
I am just sitting awaiting the word thinking just when I thought today couldn’t get any better, that there was nothing else I could thank God for…. it is coming.
Blessings are endless. Awaiting them is the hard part.
Make time to be thankful. Your gratitude shall be endless.
