We are truly blessed, aren't we? Every time I read this passage I am always amazed at how much God loves us and what He has done for us. So much love and so much sacrifice on His part. When He created us, He already knew what would happen and had a plan in progress. As we reminisce about this year, and plan for the next year, lets not forget that if we let God be in control of our lives, then we are truly blessed and we can lay claim of these wonderful promises. God Bless you richly today on this Lords Day, enjoy your day in Church and remember to be thankful!
