Blessings

I started this blog to chronicle the blessings in my life. There are many more of them than what I am faithful to get into print on these pages. Often, I would rather spend the time enjoying my blessings than writing about them.

Lately I've heard a song referred to many times. I had never heard the song until recently and now I'm hearing it everywhere. Today, I took the time to really listen to the lyrics. All I can say is WOW!

Last year, Keith and I read through Randy Alcorn's book, If God is Good, together. It was one of the best books I have ever read. This song echoes the truths in Alcorn's book.

Sometimes the blessings in life most certainly do come through trials, pain, and tears. I am grateful for all of God's blessings and was moved to share this song today out of thankfulness for them...however they come.

I can, in all honesty, say that some of the sweetest blessings in my life have come through very difficult times. I am so thankful that God knows what I need and is faithful to carry me through the difficulties to see the blessings.
