Being in the midst of taking care of our garden produce (tomatoes and cucumbers), it seems like that would be abundance enough. When some in our world have so little to eat, we never go hungry.
I went to visit my sis JoAnn in the hospital this week, and was excited to see her out of bed, doing therapy, and demanding (she is a bit anxious) that someone move her wheelchair to the outside courtyard and then to a roomy spot indoors when the rain caught us. She is making progress much quicker than anyone expected. When we pray for something to happen, why are we surprised when it does happen?
JoAnn (and all our family) received another blessing this week--JoAnn's first granddaughter was born, beautiful and healthy. Steve and Annie already have 3 adorable little boys, and now they can get ready to spoil their little sister. The miracle of birth heals our hearts in so many ways.
I am reminded that "every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father . . ." (James 1:17) That reminds me also, to count those blessings, to set my mind on good things, and always to be thankful.
I'm sure you have blessings also, possibly ones that you have forgotten about. Try counting them up, and be thankful.
