The blessing

Nothing funny. Nothing strange. Nothing unusual today. Just a prayer.

We are so very blessed. We are so very blessed. Can you feel the blessings of God coming down today like sweet summer rain?

We were so close to missing the boat. We were so close to the final stay of execution. We were so close to missing out, missing it, missing all.

Then God, in his infinite wisdom with his unfailing mercy, delivered us. Lifted us. Changed us. Loved us.

We are so very, very blessed. In our marriages. In our parenthood. In our grandparenthood. In our loves and our misses, in our joys and our frailties. We can feel the blessings of God coming down like cold fall rain.

Today, let everyone who has breath praise Him. Don't worry about sour circumstances in lives half-lived. Praise Him. Give Him praise. Let Him know that though there are times we don't understand, times we're exhausted, times we're sick, times of pain when it seems we can't go on, we understand He's there with us, lifting us, cherishing our actions.

Today we are blessed.

Go out and bless someone else.
