Blessings and Beyond

 
Some weeks I am late because I am working on a blog idea, tweaking it a bit more each day and then finally get it posted.
Sometimes I am late because inspiration seems to allude me, or I allude it!

This week I waited for something to strike me, I looked through potential ideas I have taken notes on....and all seemed silent, there didn't seem to be an idea or a seed of an idea out there for this week.
AND THEN as I sat down late Wednesday night.....from a rather hectic, running multiple places, my brain didn't seem like it had a  moment to be inspired, kind of day....God is good and He does what He says He will do and tada....Blessings and Beyond!

See Wednesday was my dad's 79th birthday....I know 80 is supposed to be a BIG milestone...but for Dad and our family....79 is a HUGE milestone....because last year we were grateful he was still among us for his 78th, we felt blessed that he was able to use his walker and navigate up the steps and into his home after just over 100 days in hospital and rehab.

In August we had just lifted praises for the fact that they were able to spend their 58th wedding anniversary how ever they wanted (not in a rehab facility!)

Blessings and beyond..is what came to mind....first of all, some of the scenerios we were given at the hospital didn't seem like blessings, and though milestones were celebrated and deemed blessings, there was much more work to be done.

BUT God was/IS giving blessings!
Are we in the frame of mind to see them?  or are we looking for something else?  something bigger?, something, that in our limited scope, is the "blessing" we think we should be seeing?
But He knows far better than we do!
📖 Every good and perfect gift is from abovecoming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows James 1:17

Because in all those "little" blessings God could see beyond; to full health, restoration, back to "normal", back to life!
📖 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Ephesians 1:3

It is important that we look for ALL the blessings God gives us....but know that they are just the beginning of what He has for us....He sees beyond today...
📖 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
🙏Lord thank you for today's blessings, help us to see them and appreciate them, live in them and trust You have more....blessings and beyond!❤️

📖 “‘“The Lord bless you
    and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you
    and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you
    and give you peace.”’ Numbers 6:24-26
