YOU ARE BLESSED, indeed, YOU ARE BLESSED!

 Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  You are blessed, say that outloud, "I AM BLESSED".

   You may say to me or others, you just don't know the troubles I have seen and that I am going through at this moment.

  No, I don't see all your troubles, God does. Yet, here we sit or stand and complain about this, that and the other.  Let me tell you a secret that you should already know.

  First, a short dissertation.  Today, in America it is true that many Americans are waking up homeless and with nothing.  However, these people can find things such as clean water to drink, food, lodging and clothes at a shelter.  We, who are not homeless have clean water to drink, food, lodging and clothes.

  In America, as bad as it gets, we are still very privileged.  Why?  Okay, let's go through this.  First, we have clean water to drink whereas many in the world walk miles to get dirty bacteria laden water to drink. 

     Question:  do you leave the water on while brushing your teeth?  Do you run the water constantly to rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher?  Do you turn the shower/bath water on and let it run to "warm up" before getting in?  Do you have food in your pantry?  Food in your refrigerator? Do you drive a vehicle to work, to buy groceries, for pleasure?

   Many in other countries have dirty water to drink, cold dirty water to bathe in, don't know where their next meal is coming from or if there will be a next meal, walk everywhere they go or possibly ride an animal.  Do you do this?  

    I am not trying to shame you at all, I am asking that you be thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ and God for allowing you the privileges you have as a citizen of America.

    I am extremely thankful that God allowed me to be an American.  Yes, we have troubles in America, the Woke movement, LBGTQ+, Republicans, Democrats, crime, murders, false prophets, and more.

   Now a question, do you think the people struggling for clean drinking water, food and shelter even care about such things?  They are fighting for survival.  To see a loved one die of starvation has to be extremely agonizing.  

   We need to be thankful to our Father in Heaven concerning how blessed we are.  Here are some verses: Jeremiah 17:7-8

• But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
  whose confidence is in him.
  They will be like a tree planted by the water
  that sends out its roots by the stream.
  It does not fear when heat comes;
  its leaves are always green.
  It has no worries in a year of drought
  and never fails to bear fruit.
• Proverbs 16: 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
• Philippians 4: 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
• Exodus 23: 25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread (food), and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
• Yes indeed, we are blessed to be in America.  Also, I did not mention that we have freedom of speech so we may share the gospel, which also comes under freedom of religion.
•   Take time right now, open your hands to heaven and pray to God, thanking Him for all the wonderful things He has provided.
•   Thank you for reading. My heart goes out to our brothers and sisters around the world who live in a constant struggle for life daily.  Pray for them please. Love you all.
• In Christ's Love and Grace
