Just think of all the blessings and gifts that God has "rained" down on you. Family, friends, your church, trips, careers, things you loved volunteering for, grandchildren, music, flowers, His whole creation.
Thant is what we need to think about - I started thinking about all the things I didn't see coming over the last 10 years. We sure didn't see 9/11 coming. Our parents, or even children who died that we couldn't have predicted. You were sure one child or another would turn out a certain way, and the other did it, not the one you predicted. Parents going to heaven the way they did. Things we just didn't sign up for happened.
And, then I had to turn all that around to the beginning. The fountain of blessings and special gifts, resources we didn't expect, friends we made, people who we came to know Jesus because of our words or actions. Once again it proves that how we respond to things in life is so much better then how we react. We have so much to contribute each day.
Get up tomorrow and ask God who you can rain His love down on and go where He is tomorrow. Let us think carefully and diligently about going where He is tomorrow (today) and minister. Interesting concept to think about going where He is tomorrow and not what is He going to do in my life today, isn't it?
