THE BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE

” REMEMBER THE LORD YOUR GOD. HE IS THE ONE WHO GIVES YOU POWER TO BE SUCCESSFUL.” DEUTERONOMY 8:18

As I take time to reflect back upon my life, I can see that my God in heaven has been involved in the things I have done since I was a kid. He provided me and surrounded me with a great family while growing up. He was with me through all of the experiences I endured, even before I accepted him as my Lord and Savior. How did I ever get through some of them? The only answer is my God in heaven. He has gifted me a great family with a wife of 55+ years, 4 great kids and 13 grandchildren. He has led me from a teaching career to a banking career of over 38 years. Even after I accepted Christ many years ago, he had to take me by the hand, and sometimes the scuff of the neck, to lead me and make me listen. I have been a slow learner throughout the years but with Jesus in my life I have been able to get through things that I would never have survived without him. I am still learning from him today and will until I meet him face to face in heaven. I think that we all can relate our experiences throughout the years with God looking over us. Sometimes we just need to take a step back and reflect upon what we have done and what we are doing in our lives. We must remember who is in charge of our lives. We have to remember who gives us the power to be who we are and to accomplish the successes in our lives. We must remember who gives us the power to get out of our trials and tribulations and overcome our fears, doubts and worries. It is our Lord God in heaven! He loves each of us so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us. He died for our sins, our salvation and our healings. He sent his Holy Spirit to live within each of us to guide us and help us. He is with us in everything and through everything and has promised to never leave us. We should praise our Lord God in heaven everyday with thanksgiving. We should remember him in all situations. Let us all take time from our busy schedules to reflect upon our lives and for all of the good and great gifts he provides to us each day! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
