Don't Let It Pass You By! Be Grateful!

In today's busy world it is so easy to get side tracked! Your day is so busy that you didn't realize that you made it to work safely, even though you were 2 cars away from an accident. You were so focused on the headache you had that you failed to realize that you are alive to even feel the pain.

Have you ever prayed and prayed for something so long that you did not even realize when it was granted? Day in and day out you get down on your knees and pray for God to bless you with this thing. You ask God to supply and you believe by faith that He will. You grow impatient for it to come, but you continue to pray for it.

Then one day it comes! Yet you are so engulfed in the minor things in life that you did not even realize that your prayer had been answered. Now I see why the old people used to "watch and pray." I need to begin to "pray and watch." I pray to God to meet a need, then I watch Him supply!

Count your blessings! Don't let God's goodness and faithfulness pass you by! Be grateful! Be blessed!
