blessed

Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.

—Proverbs 16:20

Many times throughout the week, I hear people say “God bless you”. 

Sometimes those word are spoken in gratitude, when someone is really thankful for an act of kindness shown to them.

Sometimes it is an automated response to a sneeze.

How do you respond when someone says it to you?

I have always responded with “He already has!”

Have you ever really stopped to think about your blessings?

I saw a sign the other day that said “What if you wake up this morning with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?”

I have been so blessed in my life, but do I stop to thank Him every day?

I am ashamed to say that I don’t believe that I do.

The verse says “blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord”.

I DO trust Him.

I believe that I am very blessed.

I hope you feel the same.

Have a blessed day.
