How Come They Have...

Have you ever thought about how blessed you are? If you listed everything you don't have, compared to those things you do have, it may look a little lopsided. But upon closer examination, the truth of the matter is that we're blessed. I may not have a smartphone, but I'm still blessed. I may not drive a newer car (or even one with under 220,000 miles on it), but I'm still SO blessed. I may do most of my clothes shopping at Goodwill, but I'm still blessed. I may not have the biggest house or the fanciest furniture, but I'm so blessed. I may not make a six figure income, but blessed I am. In terms of our culture, I may not have even a fraction of what others may have, but you definitely can't say the Lord hasn't blessed me. I may not have a smartphone, but my old school Blackberry continues to work well. I may not have a newer car, but my old truck never seems to let me down. I may shop for most of my clothes at Goodwill, but sometimes I can't believe the incredible things I get for pennies on the dollar. I may not have the biggest house or fanciest furniture, but our home and everything that's in it is more than we could ever ask for or dream of. I may not make a six figure income, but the Lord continues to provide and watch over us as only He can, when it comes to every all of our bills. You see, when it comes down to it, we're blessed. Blessed beyond measure. In fact, abundantly blessed. Proverbs 10:6 tells us, "The godly are showered with blessings..." Take a moment to thank the Lord today for all He's blessed you with :)
