Everyday Blessings

Everyday Blessings


"Yes! I've got my dream job! Thank You God!" "We've been approved for the house. The Lord was with us." "I didn't think it was possible. . . and then I drove off with my new car. " "Two pulls and I hit the jackpot! The Lord knows I needed it."

The blessings are there always. Fill yourself with the widsom of God so that you will see more than the icing on the cake.

Inspired by Luke 2:36-40

There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Pahnuel, of the tribe of Asher.  She was advanced in years, having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.  She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer.  And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.  When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord, they returned to Gailee, to their own town of Nazareth.





Luke 2:36-40







There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped there with fasting and prayer night and day. At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. When they had finished everything required by the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favour of God was upon him.











A Decided Heart







The tone of your day starts with your attitude. The negative thoughts you keep and the disappointments you hang on to keep you from blossoming and enjoying your life. Train yourself to speak and think positively even before your eyes are opened to the first rays of light. Begin each day in prayer, giving thanks for the roof over your head, the bed you are sleeping in and the ability to think clearly. Nothing is going to ruin your high spirits if you live with a decided heart to be happy.
