Have you
had your Joy Juice today? Wake up and
smell the sweet aroma of your blessings!
One of my
former working colleagues used to say: “I’m too blessed to be stressed!” We
should ALL have that outlook on life! When we think of our many blessings, JOY
should bubble up in our heart. Though we have challenges along our way, our
blessings far exceed the struggles.
Have you tried to count your blessings
lately? Though none of us are at the
exact same stage of life or set of circumstances, one thing holds true for each
us: We are all blessed! At times we get distracted from seeing our blessings
because we get caught up in the busyness and challenges of daily life. BUT….if we will look for them, I can promise
you…blessings abound!
A dear
friend gave me an unexpected gift. There
was no special occasion, no celebration or no specific reason…but she found a
book she knew I’d like! And wow, was she right! It was an unexpected blessing
from the blessing of friendship.
The title
of the book goes along with our thoughts this morning…One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. It’s chocked full of
reasons to experience the JOY of the Lord by counting our blessings. Listen to the subtitle: “Dare to Live Fully Right Where
You Are!”
May each of us be challenged to look past
our daily difficulties and choose to count our blessings & live fully in
the joy of the Lord…RIGHT WHERE WE ARE!
