I AM BLESSED

As I walked my dog this morning and was gathering my thoughts I started thinking about what I wanted to talk to God about this morning. My mind became rushed with so many things I wanted to say to him. But when I asked him to help me pray the only thing that seem to come out of my lips were Thank you God! I kept saying Thank you God. I would notice a bird on a branch singing and I would just say Thank you God. I noticed people working in the yard and I would say Thank you God. I had to run after my dog to keep up and I said Thank you God. As I was walking back home I became overwelmed with tears. I kept thinking I am so blessed. I can see, hear and run.

Blessed because he stayed upon that cross for me. He came to be an example for me. He showed me the way. He created the sun, the moon, the grass for me. At that moment this morning I felt one with him. I felt like he was picking me up giving me my morning hug as I went about my day.

I think of my son. God brought him into my life. He is apart of my soul. Each day I wake up excited to see him and excited to hear him say Hi Mom. I want him to love me. Does God feel that way about me?

The scripture John 17:21 comes to my mind: "I pray that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me"

As he faced death he was praying for us. The love he has for us is so amazing.
Some of the lyrics to the song "I am Blessed" keeps humming in my soul all day today.

Through the sunshine and rain
through the sorrow and pain,
everyday that I live, I am blessed,
when I wake up in the morning,
'til I lay my head to rest, I am blessed,
I am blessed.
