The Lord continues to bless us…in every moment!!! Sometimes it takes a little longer to see the blessings but they are there! We just need to take the time to seek them out, take them in, and thank Him for them!
The Lord blesses me daily.
Even when I didn’t want to talk to Him or seek whatever it is He has for me, He was blessing me. He was ordering my steps and the steps of those around me.
Today I gave some special people their Christmas present from me. I made it and it says, “Thankful for every moment” I remember telling Timothy that on the phone months before he passed away. My exact words to him were: “I thank God for every moment He has given me with you.” Today I am even more thankful not only for those moments but that I took the time to tell him. The Lord knew what was coming and He gave me extra time with Timothy. He allowed me say everything I needed to say him. He opened up our hearts to each other in a special way and I am so grateful. I’m thankful that I have no regrets. I’m thankful for the testimony I have. I am thankful for the lives that have been touched seeing all those prayers answered along the way. Even if the ending wasn’t what anyone expected, we all still saw the Power of the Lord and the kind of changes that only He can make! (You can read more of our story in my previous blog post, Faith.)
This morning as I drove to work, the tears flowed down my cheeks as I talked to the Lord. I thanked Him in advance for whatever He had in store for me today. I told Him I wanted whatever it was that He wanted for me. I wanted His desires to be my desires. I told Him I was sorry for standing in His way and for letting my grief hold me back. The holidays will be hard but the Lord continues to bless me with great friends that take care of me, encourage me, hug me, cry with me, and so much more. I am amazed at how many wonderful people the Lord has put in my life. I am so blessed!
My God amazes me daily and looks out for me daily. He whispers to me, He holds me, He comforts me, He sends me exactly what I need, exactly when I need it… ALWAYS!!!
I do not know what the future holds. I do not know why there has been so much heartbreak, sadness, and loss. I do know that in the midst of it all, there has also been answered prayers, joy, love, and so many blessings. I truly am THANKFUL FOR EVERY MOMENT!
