Luck's got nothin' to do with it. I'm BLESSED! Amen??
As I posted on bookface (for Aaron) earlier, THE source of ALL my blessings is JESUS!
But I'm not talking about what most people think about when they hear the words "BLESSED" or "BLESSINGS". Most people think about the roof over their head (certainly thankful for that), the food on their table (or McDonald's table), the shoes on their feet (I do love my Justin boots!), etc.
Well, one thing's for sure about me...I'm not like most people. And I'm dang proud of it!
I don't measure my blessings in dollars. If I did, I would have less than a hundred "blessings" to my name sometimes, lol. I don't measure them in possessions. Very few things do I actually "own." Although, Angie says I have more clothes and shoes than her, haha. Hey, it's different knowing EVERYBODY is going to spend 30 minutes or so staring straight at you when you preach, ok? So, hush. Lol!
Listen, folks. The kind of blessings I'm talking about CAN'T BE MEASURED AT ALL!
How do you put a price tag on being blessed enough to be among a group of a few thousand young people this weekend who only wanted to praise God and grow in their knowledge of Him?
How do you measure the blessing of crying with two young people from your own group who responded to God's moving in their life by turning their lives over to Him (getting "saved), this time really meaning it?
How do I thank God enough for allowing me to be in the midst of all this, much less be in the position as their and the church's leader/shepherd/PASTOR???
The short answer is YOU/I DON'T....YOU/I CAN'T!!
I don't deserve these blessings. I never will. I'm not qualified to receive these blessings. I never will be. Newsflash to ya, folks...YOU NEVER WILL BE, EITHER.
All I can do is tell my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ...tell you...tell the whole cotton pickin' world, whoever will listen...I...AM...BLESSED!!! And HE ALONE is the source of ALL my blessings.
"What A Mighty God We Serve..."
Can I get a witness?
