It seems to me that we often,
almost sulkily, reject the good that God offers us because, at the moment, we
expected some other good. - C.S. Lewis
I cannot count the number of
times that I have been so focused on what I thought I needed to make me happy,
that I missed the gifts of the day. Looking back, can you see a time when
you wanted something specific? Did you want it so much that you missed
everything else going on? I can get so dialed-in on making my own will happen
that I miss the blessings that are presented to me throughout the day. And,
when I miss the gifts, I forget to be grateful. There are so many miracles that
happen each day. I won't miss them if I don't try to make them fit my image of
what they should look like.
Higher Power,
I am so grateful for
the blessings of each day. Whether it be waking up to a good song, finding
quiet time, or just enjoying each little moment as it comes. When I stop
forcing my own way upon You and accept all that you have to offer, I feel deep
peace and gratitude in all my affairs.
