Thinking about this devotional on a day that started out full of frustrations at not being able to format something the way I needed to, and wasting so much time in the trying that I didn't have to spare.That triggered a teary pity party fueled by thoughts of things I can no longer do that I would like to, and how this is not just a temporary phase.
My party was interrupted by a couple of encouraging texts that were a good example of what the devotional meant when it said God's blessings often come in the middle of everyday life when we could most use a reminder of His love. And so they have.
A comment from one of my blog friends saying she's thankful for my friendship, a text from my daughter inviting me to join them at the beach in July, an unexpected phone call from a long-time friend I miss and who lives in another state, a large car repair paid for by my church family, a gift membership to our senior center from a dear local friend. That's five huge blessings right there.
Another 13 are the 7 grandchildren and 6 great-grands in my life that I never expected to live long enough to see.
Blessings 18 to 31 plus are blessings so easily taken for granted, that this very uplifting song lists and gives thanks for.
If I hadn't already reached 31, I would add livestreams to my list. They have opened up so many doors, such as being able to attend the Brooklyn Tabernacle services on Sundays where I first heard this song.
