"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits."
Psalm 103:2
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but sometimes I feel like I am the worst at forgetting all that the Lord has done for me. It seems as though my mind is always 5 years down the road, looking toward what I hope He will be doing for me and my family in the future.
But this morning, I stopped. I decided to take a minute and look back over my life. I remember the holidays during Covid. 2020. Honestly, when we mention the year, we need not say anything else. It speaks for itself. The year of restrictions. Holidays without loved ones. Sometimes without, meaning they left this earth. How deeply hard it is to be thankful when we lose a precious loved one.
I remember that year for our family. Our house wasn't filled with lots of people like in years past, or even since. Just "our five." I remember struggling with that realisation in the days approaching. Worried about my parents, and missing what "once was." Yet, when I glanced around our family room and kitchen that blessed day as I still prepared Thanksgiving dinner (which we would later drive by and drop off at my parents home) I realized that every deep desire and prayer I have ever prayed had been answered over my life. From the very specific prayers that God would bless us with the home we were living in, (I literally prayed for the hardwood floors, fireplace, and laundry room.) To prayers about my children and their walk with God. (And He has truly answered those from an exceeding and abundant place.)
And then there was the deep desire and prayer of my heart that God would allow me to share with others, the transforming message of weight loss that He shared with me all those years ago. Today, I stand in awe to have been blessed beyond measure with an extended group of people, I truly call my E4M family. (I am so grateful for YOU today!)
Friend, you may be in a season of what seems like unanswered prayers this morning. Wondering where God is in all your chaos. But I can promise you this. Take a little walk down memory lane and you will find that your Heavenly Father has been walking beside you all along. Holding you up when you couldn't walk, and providing blessings when you couldn't see how things could work out.
Whatever the approaching holidays look like for you, I pray you feel the closeness of Jesus.
Like the cuddliest of blankets, wrapped around you on the cosiest of couches.
Today I am thankful for all who read this, prayerfully believing that through this little devotion, God will spark a ray of light in your day, and in your life.
Letting you know that He's not finished with you yet. And I for one, am truly grateful for that!
Let's Pray.
Dear God,
Today I am thankful for You. God, You give peace, where there is chaos. And You answer prayers in the most perfect way. God help me to "pay forward" gratitude and love. Help me shine a light around me today. One that will lead someone to You. I will always give You all the glory, honor and praise!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen
