December 31 – Blessed New Year To One and All

Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the LORD your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you obey the LORD your God: Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. Blessed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground and the offspring of your beasts, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. Deuteronomy 28:1-6  

Blessed. Blessed. Blessed. That’s me.

I am blessed to know God and to be known by Him.

I am blessed to live in a country with such freedoms—although with such freedom comes responsibility.

I am blessed to live in a community that is clean, safe, friendly and compassionate.

I am blessed to have a loving and nurturing family—that shares my values, love and concerns.

I am blessed to have friends—who truly care about each other.

I am blessed to have a good husband and a home where we are comfortable and content.

Above all—blessed is the name of the Lord for He is worthy of our praise and adoration.  

Do you feel blessed?

 

As we look back at this past year of 2012, may we see all the ways that God has worked in our lives. As we look ahead—let us look forward to the feasts we’ll have at the Lord’s table—with each other savoring His word. My hope is that your joys be overflowing and your love abound in God’s grace. May He have mercy on us as we live to obey His commandments, to seek and serve Him. This year 2012 is over…and I have reached my goal of blogging this devotional for a year. I will continue blogging—so please do keep reading. Blessings and love to you all~

Happy New Year!
