Praises
Posted by kathy on September 13th, 2007. Filed under: Blessings, Faith.I woke up early this morning, got to school early this morning and now I’m sitting alone in my classroom with about 10 minutes before the kids come in. Sitting in the silence, I’m overwhelmed. Out of the sadness of the week comes a flooding of blessings to my heart. I almost feel silly sitting in here with tears in my eyes, but I can’t help it. I’m so thankful for everything the Lord has given me. My family–oh how important they are to me. Jerrad–I’ve been praying for him since college and here he is…exactly what I’ve always wanted. Friends. Job. Health. Intelligence. The Dry Littleton wit (yes I’m thankful for that!). A job I love. Kids I love. A healthy baby niece. Two precious nephews. The list goes on.
I read the Prayer of Jabez a few years back and prayed the same prayer. I truly believe God has honored my prayer.
“Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.” 1 Chronicles 4:10
Dear gracious Father. Thank you so much for the blessings you have given me. In times of grief and sadness it’s wonderful to be able to look to you and to the mighty things that you have done in my life…all the blessings that you bestow upon me every day. Father I pray that you continue to bless me and enlarge my territory. Keep me Lord, and keep me from harm and free from pain. Father I also pray the same blessings upon my friends and family. Thank you again Father for being the awesome God that you are.
