S - Romans 11:36 For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to Him forever! Amen.
O - EVERYTHING comes from him good and bad. If it's bad he wants to bring glory to himself by turning into good. If it's good he wants to make it greater so that it will glorify him. Everything has a purpose and reason.
A - I have to be thankful for all the good and bad because if God gives it to me he wants me to use it for his good so that others will grow in him or come to know him. I need to change my perspective and not be selfish and pitiful when the bad happens but think how can God use this to make me better for him!
TOP TEN Spiritual Blessings
1. Salvation - I can never earn it, never loose it, never change it, I'm in his hands always!
2. Ryan and kids - there's too much to write
3. My parents - taught me huge lessons that are paying off now that I didn't understand growing up!
4. My sisters and sis n laws- unconditional love, encouragement, fun, thoughtfulness
5. Church family - have had some huge pits, valleys, plateus, and highs. God has taught me great lessons thru the bad and good and if I had given up I wouldn't be as close to Him today.
6. Multiple printed Bibles - can't be grateful enough that I don't have to hide my Bible and can take it anywhere!
7. Mother n law - she has been an amazing mentor, helper, and also extends unconditional love
8. Ginny, Cindy, Amber, Jenifer - for about 17 years I have learned so much from all of you that I could never repay. Not only learned but experienced and watched in you. You all inspire me to be a better Woman in Christ! Wow we r OLD!!!!
9. BeautiControl - the women I have encountered have given me Joy, sadness, sorrow, frustrations, spiritual mentors, and friendships that I wouldn't want to have missed out on. (and the best skin of my life:)
10. Prayer - the ability to go to God anytime I want baffles me. I will never understand how he knows all and sees all before we pray to him but I'm so thankful that I don't have to go thru a priest or sacrifice an animal to get him to hear me!
P - Lord I am speechless so please listen to my heart. I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU!
