The life and trials of a growing Christian - Day One Hundred Sixty Six

I sat down to write this tonight and heard the most glorious sound.... Rain! Lots of beautiful, pouring, delightful rain! As someone who loves to do some gardening I love it, and as someone who loves the Lord and knows that Him and only Him (not mother nature, contrary to what the news reporters say) can give or withhold rain, I'm very thankful for this awesome blessing. He knows our every need and provides for them daily yet we take Him for granted and don't thank Him or praise Him like we should. Every breath that flows in and out of us is a blessing and should be thought of that way. Every meal, the clothing on our backs (no matter how old or out of style), the roof over our heads and even the air conditioning or heat are all gifts from the All Mighty. Let's not forget ALL of those prayers that He has looked upon with favor either. Often times we ask and receive but don't take the time to thank and praise Him.
I can't point my finger at anybody for taking our Lord for granted unless it's at my self. I'm terribly guilty of taking His blessings and happily going on my merry way without so much as a thank You Lord.
Thank You Lord!
