"I was so busy complaining today I completely missed God answering all the prayers I had just yesterday."
That was something I wrote over a year ago in my journal. I like to look back where I was a year ago and see my thoughts. It made me smile because I have done that same thing time and time again. I keep asking God to answer my prayers completely forgetting what was so important that I asked God for just yesterday that I tend to overlook as He answers them. In my thoughts here is what I actually wrote/posted last year that came out of those thoughts.
We are surrounded by blessings. I write about it often. I speak to groups about realizing the amazing gifts God presents us with and the beauty in realizing those gifts as we progress through the journey. Today as I was sitting thinking about the weekend I thought about how we sometimes are surprised by those blessings in disguise. The ones that seem to pop up exactly at the moment we need them. The ones God puts in our path so that we may experience them to pick us up, lean on and carry us when we need it most. As my mind wandered more I found myself in awe of the blessings that are in my life now. I thought about the ones that aren't disguised at all. The ones that every day are simply there. The ones we may have a tendency to overlook simply because they never cease to be blessings. It's easy to find the light in the big blessings in our life, but it's the smallest ones that reside in our minds, hearts and our souls every step of the way. The smallest ones that at our darkest are the brightest parts of who we are and the answers to prayers we made long ago. Today I simply wanted to give thanks for ALL the blessings God bestows upon us. Grateful and thankful for today and every day.
Over a year old, but couldn't have been more on point for me today as this weekend has been filled with blessings, filled with appreciation, filled with answered prayers. Ones I'm not going to overlook, God, just going to say thank you.
Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you find the answered prayers in your day. That you don't overlook just how many are answered. Maybe not like you wanted, but exactly as God knows you needed.
Have a blessed week.
