BE AWARE OF THE BLESSINGS IN YOUR LIFE

 

BE AWARE OF THE BLESSINGS

IN YOUR LIFE

ARE you aware

Of the BLESSINGS

In your life

Or are you aware

That you have

Any blessings

FOR MYSELF

After coming so close

To death

Being ALIVE itself

Is a great blessing

The parents that I had

And the sisters that I have

Are MAJOR blessings

Are you aware

Of the blessings

In your life

My extended family

And my friends

Are GREAT blessings

In my life

BE AWARE

Of the blessings

In your life

“The blessings of the Lord

Bring wealth

Without painful toil for it” Proverbs 10:22

Maybe NOT material wealth

But the SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS

Of God

The BLESSINGS of the SPIRIT

“But the FRUIT of the SPIRIT

Is love-joy-peace-forbearance-

Kindness-goodness-faithfulness-and self-control

Against such things

There is NO LAW” Galatians 5:22

And HOW BLESSED we are

IF we can live

With these qualities

Be aware

FOR these are

The BLESSINGS OF GOD

These are

The blessings of Jesus

“Bless the Lord

O my soul

And forget not all his benefits” Psalm 103:2

OUR BLESSINGS

Permeate our lives

On a daily basis

And wisdom ALLOWS us

To CONTINUE to be aware

How they FULLY enrich our lives

“LOVE-joy-peace,” etc., etc., etc

God and FAMILY

And be aware

Of a home-cooked meal

A roof over your head

Your gainful employment

PLUS all the daily BLESSINGS

That we

Sometimes take for granted

In our lives

These are

GOD'S BLESSINGS TOO

Take some time today

To be AWARE

Of the blessings in your life

And ALWAYS be thankful

To God for them

Robert P. Wallman

Ps For WHEN you take TIME to give thanks for it ALL

You feel an even DEEPER APPRECIATION of JOY

And you REMEMBER how much you are REALLY LOVED
