God KNOWS What You Need, Before You Do!

What do you REALLY NEED to be happy?

I need my husband, my children, a home, and food.

I have to convince myself that I don't need all of the things our society shouts out at us that we "need".

I don't need a computer (sigh).
I don't need a television.

I don't need a car...although life where I live would be very difficult without one.

I don't need tons of toys for my kids.

I don't need fancy clothes.

I don't need diamonds, pearls, or gold.

I don't need money.

I would like to learn to count my blessings, and leave my want for more to never be seen again!

The blessings I have can be counted one by one, and I will feel much richer than any millionaire.

The Lord has blessed me with:
My husband

My children

My family

My friends

My home

My ministries

My life

food to eat

clean water to drink

clean air to breathe

words

books

eyesight

hearing

taste

smell

touch

and on, and on....

Lord, I pray that my study of Your Word would serve as a reminder of all the blessings that You have given me. I have a loving, providing husband, who respects me. I have wonderful, loving children, who I am charged with bringing up in Your image. I have a beautiful home, which blesses my family with so many amenities that we tend to take for granted. I also have plenty of delicious food to eat. I have so much food, it is often in abundance.

Please help me, Lord, to not take these things for granted!

I give all of the glory to You, my God, for these things are blessings and gifts from You!

If I ever Need something, You provide!

In Jesus' Name,

Amen
