Blessings


The art of abundance is not about greed or selfishness.
The art of abundance is about celebrating life right now,
in this minute.
It is a way of looking at the potential your life holds --  the little blessings to be thankful for now
and the gifts that God wants to give you,
if you'll open your heart to receive them.
It's about being enthusiastic about life every day,
not just on the rare occasions when everything seems to be going your way.

    I loved this! I am trying to remember to pray more for thanks than for needs. This post really speaks to this. Happy Sunday!

    Sophia, I believe the joy of blessings really comes when they are passed on and on and on. I am happy for you to share these words with others, just as I have shared them with all of you.
