Driving to work yesterday, the Christian radio station was talking about prayer. A lady called in and was very upset because she wasn't sure how to recognize God's voice when she was praying. She very much wanted to hear His voice. It made me start thinking about prayer and the fact that I need to prayer much more and I also desire to hear his voice.
Right after thinking about this prayer issue, I started thinking about all the blessings in my life.
- Health
- Great family
- Job-that I actually am enjoying for once in my teaching career!
- good students
- good friends
- nice home
- safe car
Our blessings - large and small - are all around us. We just usually fail to recognize them as such. Years ago, I set about recognizing the blessings in my life. When I did recognize one, I immediately thanked God. Doing so helped me recognize more and more. This habit helps me keep God up front in my life daily. However, this is not foolproof. I must admit I've missed some pretty big blessings in my life - like Grandma. :( Keep looking! And praying!!!
