Word Verification

Just like everyone else, I get discouraged and I get the “Woe is me” mindset.

The other day I visited a new blog that had just started (which has nothing to do with this post). I wanted to leave a comment and she had the kind of comment box that is embedded and had Word Verification.  I rarely see real words in word verifications. This time I did.

The word I needed to type in was Bless.

In spite of my emerging poor-me-itis I AM blessed.

Some days I brood over things like:

• Stomach upsets
• Where does my money go?
• A house that needs a thousand repairs
• Spilling Milk
• Dropping my keys five times

 Life stuff.

Sometimes I get discouraged. And then I count my blessings:

• Laughing grandchildren
• Loving family
• A job
• Home
• Friends
• Clothing
• Plentiful food
• A country where I can worship God without consequences.

Just to mention a few.

I am blessed, and it took word verification to remind me—I am blessed.  

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.

 

Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.

 

Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalms 100:1-5 (NIV)

Count your blessings and it may just change everything.
