Blessings come from many places. Sometimes those small positives in our life can be so seemingly insignificant that we assume they will last forever. We go about life expecting good things to happen to us or for us.
But what about those huge blessings that come along occassionally that knock our socks off? Something so outstanding that it changes the way we perceive life. It changes the way we view our circumstance. We go from hopeless one minute to absolutely enthralled the next. Is the change permanent or do we fall back into our old habits after a time of adjustment?
The answer is both.
We appreciate the giant blessing and for awhile bask in the warmth of a loving God who sprinkles us with graciousness. But as is too often the case we fall back into that old lack of appreciation habit and need another booster shot to remind us of just how fortunate we are. Aren't we blessed to have a God Who continually blesses us despite our lack of appreciation and our penchant for lapsing backward?
I think I'll make a resolution to be truly thankful for the small and large blessings in life so that I don't miss anything that God has in store for me. How about you?
