Today has been a strange day for me. It's hard to describe, or even 'put my finger on it', but everywhere I've turned today, I saw another reason to be thankful! I've been busy asking God to help me find a job, or to help me in some other way, or give me this or that....always asking for more & more.....but today, I feel nothing but thanks in my heart for all the blessings he has already given me. Simple things, really. I am truly thankful that I have a friend like Betty, who took me to lunch today & even surprised me with a birthday gift. I am thankful that I have a good vehicle that got me to that lunch date. I am thankful that I was able to buy a few groceries on my way home which will get me thru a few more days. I have a coat, when it's cold out. I have all that I need for today. The Bible tells me in Matthew 10:31 that even as God takes care of sparrows....he will take care of me & provide for me. So far....He's done just that. Even when I worry & wonder "how"....He's there. I've not gone hungry. I've not slept in the streets. I've not shivered in the rain & cold. I have a roof over my head & a warm bed at night. I have laughter, even in the hard times, and my pets to amuse me & take my mind off of worldly problems. I have people that love me & let me know that. My siblings have helped me financially, so that I am still able to "maintain" until a job finds me.
I am truly, truly, blessed, TODAY, and I will not worry about tomorrow....for God's already there!
