I am so blessed. So very blessed by God.
Yes, I have my struggles, but I am never alone in them. He is always with me.
Yes, I do not know what the future holds. But I know that there is nothing in the future that will take my LORD by surprise. I do not need to worry.
Yes, I have a body that is aging, often fatigued, sometimes in pain. But this body is not my home! One day I shall be absent from this dusty old tent and have a new glorious body like unto His.
I am so blessed. So very blessed by God.
I have a husband who has loved me for 55 years – even though I have not always been lovable. Have we had our ups and downs? Surely. Have we fought like cats and dogs sometimes? Yep. But by the grace of God we are still together (and still loving and fighting).
I have three wonderful children who care about and for us. And three grandsons that I am so very proud of.
I have friends that I have had since the 1980’s, who still love to gab and laugh. I pray for them, and they pray for me.
I have a church family that loves me and still wants me around even though I have been retired from pastoral ministry.
I still have enough clarity of mind to read and study and write.
I am so blessed. So very blessed by God.
As I sit here this morning, I can sense His presence with me. Can you get more blessed than having the Eternal, Almighty, Gracious God on your side? I don’t think so.
