"God bless you!" I have been
hearing that a lot lately. Unfortunately, it usually comes after a
thunderous sneeze on my part. Spring is in full bloom here. The trees are
full of beautiful white, pink, and yellow blossoms. In the fields a
million flowers are stretching their golden, purple, red, and white heads
towards the sun. Butterflies are floating peacefully and happily on the
air. And while I am watching it all with a smile on my face and a song in
my soul, I am also seeing it with dry eyes and a runny nose. I take heart,
however, in knowing that my allergies will ease up as the pollen count
goes down but that Spring is here to stay.
I do feel blessed by
God then. I feel blessed with being given this chance to watch the Earth
come back to life again here in the mountains of my home. I feel blessed
to hear the sweet music of birds singing and children playing outside my
window. I feel blessed to feel the hugs of my own children and to listen
to those Heavenly words, "I love you Dad." I feel blessed to have furry,
four-legged friends lovingly brushing against my leg, climbing on my lap,
and curling up at my feet. I feel blessed to have kind neighbors and
caring friends who touch my heart with their goodness. I even feel blessed
by this sneezing nose, because it reminds me that Spring is here in all
her glory. I feel truly blessed everyday of my life and I do my best to
thank God for all of my blessings even though there is no way I could ever
keep up.
The truth is life is
overflowing with God’s blessings. It is up to us to embrace them, though.
It is up to us to welcome them all into our souls. It is up to us to share
them with everyone we meet as well. Remember the more blessings you share
with the world the more blessings God showers on your life, and the more
love you give to others the more love God pours into your heart. God bless
you always then and may you always be a blessing to others as well.
