Showers of Blessing
Ezekiel 34:26 (KJV) – And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.


I was tempted to complain about the rain this morning.  I say tempted because God quickly reminded me that, even in this rain, I have plenty to be thankful for. 

Check out some of the reasons I am grateful for the rain on my blog!  I am grateful for the rain because...


I am grateful for the rain because...
  • It wasn’t snow or ice...  I’m very grateful for that!
  • It will nourish the crops and we will have good food to eat.
  • We are not in one of the many areas around the globe that are suffering from deadly drought conditions.
  • We have plenty of water and we don’t need to ration our usage.
  • The rain cleans the crud off the streets.
  • It makes a neat sound on the top of the car while you’re driving to work!


Sometimes I overlook the little blessings.  But, I've realized that if I don’t look for the little blessings, I will miss the larger blessings that God has in store for me too.

I challenge you today to find contentment in whatever God brings your way today.  And, take a moment to share some of the little blessings that God shows you in the comment section below...


My Prayer for Today...  Thank you, Lord, for the rain and for the reminders of the many blessings that the rain brings.  Help me my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to stay grateful for the little things and to be contented with all that you’ve provided.  I especially want to thank you today for my salvation; and Dear Lord please help me to be a good testimony today so that others can see your love through me.  Give me opportunities to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with those I meet today.

Hearts and Roses – Opportunities to Share Gods love!

Hearts remind me of God's Love and give me an opportunity to witness Years ago, I decided I would remember Christ's love for me, and His sacrifice on the cross, each time I see someone wearing a heart .  With Valentine’s Day coming up, lots of people are wearing hearts, so I’ve had some fun with this witnessing tool the last few days.

NOW

Written by Carisa Stahl For several years in a row my daughter Amy has chosen a word for the year. This year her word is, "Choose". Mary chose, "Constancy". I had no intention or desire to choose a word for the year. Back in January I was online and saw a news video clip where teachers had chosen a word for the school year. Their word choice was written on their hand and held up to the camera. The word NOW popped out at me and I felt that the Lord was prompting me to choose that as my word so I looked up definitions for the word, "now", chose the chorus from a Patch The Pirate Song, and chose a Bible verse and made a poster. NOW is not necessarily my word for the year, I am thinking it may be my word for the rest of my life. Nine years ago I had health problems that put me in bed for a few months- barely able to even get up to the bathroom. Life was a struggle. Not feeling well is a good excuse for not accomplishing things. I still don't feel t...

2014-0103 - lists1 - i like lists

Ok, it is the beginning of a new year, it seems like a good time to set out some goals to get me moving in the right direction; to that end, it’s time to grab a piece of paper and a pen and start writing…  Did I mention that I am a list maker?  Yes, I am!  I really like lists! Lists motivate me.  They give me a sense of accomplishment.  I love the little checkmarks that accumulate along the side of the page as I finish each item.  I even like the little “X” marks, and scratch out lines, which signify to me that items I once considered worthy of listing have now lost their urgency or appeal. Lists can be fun!  They help me sort through my thoughts, and to prioritize them, so I can see what I need to accomplish.  List making provides flexibility.  Putting pen to paper allows me to respond to distractions but brings me back to what I originally started out to do. Sometimes I get lazy and I am always easily distracted.  I have c...
