Be Blessed, Be Thankful.....Ps. 100

Hey Kids,

 

Did you know we are blessed?    That's right, blessed by God, the creator of the heavens and the earth, the Almighty one who knows each one of us and loves us with an everlasting love. 

 

Have you ever felt sad, frustrated maybe even angry?  Sometimes I look around at others and think ..."life isn't fair". You know what, that can be true.  We live in a world that seems to be filled with unloving, selfish people, who are only concerned about themselves and it truly appears that life isn't fair.

 

But, when we believe in Jesus and become a Child of God, we realize we can not put our trust in people or things.  People can disappoint us and things can simply disappear.  Our trust and confidence must be in our relationship with our Lord and Savior.  When we realize God is in control, that He never makes a mistake, and always wants His very best for us, our focus will change from looking at others, and off ourselves, to looking to God, His love and His plans for us.

 

As we refocus and surrender ourselves to Him, we are able to see His blessings.  We have been told to count our blessings and name them one by one.  How about You?  Can you do this? 

 

As you recognize and begin to list or talk about how God blesses you, there will be an over powering desire to be grateful and to share this with others.  Ask God to help you find a spirit of Thankfulness in your heart.  Go ahead and express your thankfulness and gratefulness to Him.

 

Be blessed my friend and remain faithful,

Mrs. Shirley
