Blessed

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
James 1:17

I am Blessed
I am Blessed with a wonderful husband
A beautiful daughter
A healthy (active) son.

I am blessed with a warm house
A fridge full of food
A closet full of clothes
A house full of furniture.

I am blessed with health
Energy
life.

I am Blessed

I am blessed with the endless questions of a 3 year old
bite marks on the backs of my legs
Muddy paw prints on the clean floor.

I am Blessed with dirty dishes
Piles of laundry
Floors covered in crumbs.
So many children's toys that I need a shovel to clear the floor.

I am blessed with loving family
generous friends
A gracious God.

I am blessed.

There are days that I know I am blessed, yet I feel discouraged. All the blessings I have and yet I am unfulfilled. Why?

Because I was made for more than all the wonderful things that this earth has. I was made for heaven. Perfect communion with God. That is the ultimate blessing.

1 John 5:11
And this is the testimony : God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
