What a lot to be thankful for! Technically we are homeless, but we are staying with family, which is nicer than that what homeless people would wish for. That hit me the other night. I don’t have a job and only my wife is working as a receptionist but we still make enough to be over the poverty level. I don’t believe in this notion that some Christians have that because I have faith that can move a mountain I should have all that I deserve because God is blessing me. I know I’m blessed. I know that God sees me and is looking out for me in spite of the fact that by the worlds standards He isn’t looking out for me because I followed His will for me and it has lead me no where.
I’m rambling because there are people close to me who believe I should be asking these questions. Why should I ask these questions? My faith is founded on the fact that God loves me and His blessing are not only reserved to monetary blessings. Being close to family and being able to spend more time with them than we have in almost 3 years. Staying home with my daughter and getting to be the main influencer in her life for this short amount of time is great. As I sit and think about Thanksgiving I see all of these blessing and knowing that God is right here beside me is all I need to know I am receiving all of God’s blessing for my life right now.
