Blessed Beyond Measure.

My list of things to do today is longer than usual with the Thanksgiving holiday coming up tomorrow. I found myself waking up this morning with the sense of urgency to spend extra time with my Savior before the business of the day takes over me. As usual I approach Thanksgiving with an overwhelming sense of wonder and awe at what the Lord has done and continues to do in my life. I am overwhelmed by His great love and the people He chooses to bless me with in my life.

That is not to say that this past year has been easy. It has had its share of struggles, fears, doubts and worries. He is faithful to remind me that His hand is constantly on my life and I have found more and more that He alone is my source of strength and JOY.

I will not find joy in people, not even my husband or my children, without His hand upon me.

I will not find joy in things until I see that He is the author and giver of every perfect gift.

He alone.

IS good.

He IS good.

He is God.

And He is all that I ever need.

But for some unknown reason He CHOOSES to bless me beyond measure. Beyond just the gift of HIMSELF in my life.

And He, in all of His goodness, chooses to bless me above and beyond anything I can fathom or imagine. He is not only good because of His blessings,

He is good because He IS.

Thank you Father for blessing me with Your presence.

You have truly blessed me beyond measure.

May I continue to see your hand and your light in all that you surround me with and may You continue to humble me with the works of your hand.

May I always be thankful and satisfied by YOU alone.

May you also be blessed by our Savior this Thanksgiving and may you see HIM in all that surrounds you.
