Today, at this moment, I am so overwhelmed with how blessed I am!
It's truly amazing to walk in the blessings of the Lord. Today, as part of my class readings for Experiencing the Christian Faith, I read John 20:24-31. It's the account of how Thomas had missed when Jesus had come and visited the disciples the first time. They were all trying to tell Thomas that Jesus had come back from being dead and Thomas wouldn't believe them.
"Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side (ewww), I will not believe."
When Jesus shows up to see Thomas, He says, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have no seen and yet believe."
It struck me how much time I spend seeking God's blessings in different areas, when I'm already blessed!! He blessed me! Before I was even born. And to walk a single moment of my day not believing that, is a flat out lie. I just love the fact that I'm already blessed, just because I believe in Jesus! It's like one of God's first presents that He hands us at the moment of our salvation. A blessing that covers our entire, day-in and day-out, lives. For me, I know that I definitely need to remember that! I'm so glad that it was revealed to me today!

So, I wanted to end this post with some flowers,
because they always remind me that I am blessed.
