Vol. 20 No. 50 | December 17, 2018a
When I take the time to consider how abundantly blessed and privileged I am, I realize there are many things I often take for granted.
When I open my eyes in the morning, I can see.
When I flip a switch, the light will come on.
When I turn on the faucet, clean water will come out.
When I open the refrigerator, there is food for me to eat.
If my coffee pot doesn’t work in the morning, I can stop and get a cup on my to work at one of the excellent coffee shops on my way to work.
My car will start each time I get in it.
I am able to live in a nice, safe neighborhood.
I am not discriminated against because of the color of my skin.
If I’m sick, I have good, reliable healthcare.
That I, my spouse, and my children received and benefited from a quality education.
I have many friends who love me and are willing to help me in any way they can when I ask them.
That I had parents and a family who loved me and taught me about the love of God.
That God loves me so much, He sent His only son to experience the fullness of human life, die on the cross, and return from the dead so I could live a rich life and be forgiven for my sins.
As we search for the perfect gifts for the people in our lives, may we all remember how blessed we are and spend a few moments thanking God for all the things we take for granted.
It is the season of giving, so enjoy all that He has given you.
