God gave me a Gift

 

God's gift to me...

another HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It's a milestone!

The big 50!

Approaching this day,

 I've taken the time to reflect on things

especially since GOOGLE knows my name!

 

 

 

 I thank God for his blessings too numerous to list!

I also looked over my bucket list

 to see how I'm doing.

 I don't really have a list

 just some things penciled in my head.

 So far, so good!

 

You might say that I am

right where God wants me to be.

I would say maybe.

We have a lot more to do with the position

 of our lives than we accept responsibility for.

 

Please don't get me wrong.

God has complete control

OVER EVERYTHING

 but we have to make decisions

based upon Godly knowledge

 and go forth trusting him.

 

I know God is pleased with many things

 in my life that honor him,

 i.e. my marriage, my children, my parents, my book, this blog, etc.

 but I also know he is waiting for me

 to do other things he has assigned me

 that I just haven't gotten to yet.

 

 Today, I challenge you and me

 to make a list of the things

 you know God has for you to do

 but you just can't seem to get around to it

 and next year, about this time,

 let's review our lists!

 

 If you say "Well...God hasn't told me

 anything he wants me to do."

(I can hear my mother saying that.) 

I say...

 "Have you asked him?"

 

 Remember,

we live for his pleasure,

 honor and glory,

 not our own.

 

 It may be just to completely

submit your life to him,

 it may be a big change

you've been struggling with,

 it may be helping your neighbor.

 

 Here's the thing...

you know what it is

DO IT!

  

 God gives us gifts every day!
 The wisemen brought him gifts...
What gifts have we given him?

Thankful for every gift,
Tammy
