“My days are swifter than a runner; they fly away without a glimpse of joy.” Job 9:25
Today’s post can be considered along with yesterday’s post entitled “Spiritual Ripples.”
We are often so busy analyzing the what, when, where, how, and why of things, that we fail to even notice our blessings when they come. We don’t take time to enjoy them and may even miss out on them completely.
The following is an excerpt from Journey Through The Stillness, my personal Spiritual Journal shared on facebook.
April 6, 2011 – “A thankful heart is a joyful heart whose joy is free to fly. Joy from a thankful heart knows no bounds. It is unstoppable, freely flowing to all it comes in contact with. Live in the joy, child. Do not focus on the doubts, pain, and fears of what was, is, and could be. Focus on what joy there is in the present moment. Tell all to train themselves to look for the blessings right in front of them. They are breathing; they are alive; they are themselves; they exist! Start simply with that and be joyful. The rest will fall into place. Live outwardly from a thankful heart.”
I often stop to take stock of all my blessings. At times, in my daily prayer journal, (not the same as Journey Through The Stillness) I devote an entry to simply writing down all that I am thankful for. Sometimes I find myself in awe of how much I really do have to write down. I find it helps me to always remember what side my bread is buttered on!
“The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” Psalm 126:3
