Love from God


Morning has broken and the blackbird is the only sound, high on the power line, singing and singing and singing in the rain. What a beautiful blessing for the day.
Longfellow has a saying:'Into all our lives, in many simple, familiar, homely ways, God infuses this element of joy from the surprises of life, which unexpectedly brighten our days and fill our eyes with light.'
I think that is so profound and fills one with joy just to read it. Think of your days and those blessings that comes so unexpectedly......treasured gifts from God, that's what I call a blessing. They are mine, they are rich, they are special, they are personal, life giving, faith affirming, exciting. They are like 'love' from God directly to our heart.
Sometimes it comes when we serve others and we end up with the blessing.
Sometimes it comes from a glorious sunset
Sometimes it comes from a beautiful sing flower.
When you settle down tonight, count the blessings from this day and you will be blessed again.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
