Appreciating God's Blessings

Miracles happen to us all the time and sometimes we don't even see the goodness that God brings each day.  The fact that we can awaken each day is a blessing, the fact that we have food is a blessing, the fact that we have shelter is a blessing and the fact that we still have the opportunity to be here with our friends and family is a blessing.  We have to understand the importance of today and what God does in our lives because there are many who are suffering and we really have it good here.  Let's take the time to thank God for His many blessings and ask Him to help us to understand what's important in life and give us the strength to do what we need to do according to His will.  It's time to fix ourselves and in order to fix ourselves we have to be humble, identify our faults and are willing to pick up the cross and walk with Jesus.  What I do know is  when we put God first, love our neighbor, forgive one another and become like children of God, we become closer to Him and are able to taste and see  His goodness.  Thank you Jesus and please continue to guide us, help us and give us the wisdom that we need on our journey. Amen and Amen
