Blessings

It has almost been two months here in Cabo and I am about to go home for a while. Me and the missionaries that I am staying with are going back to Dallas to try to raise funds for our ministry. I am excited for the opportunity to go back home and recongize it as a blessing to be able to reconect with friends and family. Not only that, I am excited that I have the oppotunity to share here on my blog, all that I am learning from my journey with God.

I have been learning that everything is a blessing. Waking up each morning, breathing air, having a meal to eat in the morning, or being able to love someone. We have been so blessed and highly favored by God. He wants to bless us so that we can bless others in love. When I think from the standpoint of God, I can imagine that God would want to love as many people as possible. This must mean that God overflows blessings to those that are in His will! But how can we use God's blessings to bless others when we don't even recognize His blessings? This must make God very sad when He blesses His people, yet they only forget Him or use His blessings to curse others. :(  The sad part is, I don't recognize God's blessings all the time!

I know my life would drastically transform if I only began recognizing all the blessings of God and using them to love others more. What do you think? How has God recently blessed you and what are some ways that you are using that blessing to love others?
