Looking for God's Blessings

Sometimes it's easy to look over, past around God's blessing in our life. We don't see His blessings or His miracles because we aren't looking for them. The other day Susan and I prayed before I got on the train to go to Manhattan. I prayed that the Lord would bless us and that we would recognize His blessing. That morning as I got off the train I saw a quarter, laying on the platform. Since no one was there to claim it I picked it up not knowing what God had in store. As I arrived at the Subway Station a young lady maybe 14 years old was looking frightened and dismayed. She came up to me and asked me if I had a quarter she could borrow. You see that day the NY MTA raised it's toll from $2.00 to $2.25 and she only had the $2.00. I told her that I didn't have a quarter that she could borrow, but that the true and living God had provided her with a quarter, and He used me to deliver it. She was blessed, I was blessed, but it would have been easy to overlook. Susan's blessing came as a result of making her first sale on Ebay. She said, that that sale, really blessed her. The Lord has been really making me aware of His presence in my and my family's life. So much so that I felt prompted to start this blog and sharing some of the things with whoever is lead to read it. I remember the old hymn that we sang when I was a kid. Count your blessings, name them one by one, count your blessings, see what God has done... I challenge you to start counting your blessings..
