Blessings from God

Blessings from God – The Shirts on our Backs

Cotton Field in Georgia

I see on the Weather Channel and in quite a few blogs that it has already been snowing in a lot of places. Here in south Georgia, we do have some fields of white. But, they’re white from the cotton that’s being harvested.

Cotton Close Up

Another amazing blessing from our Lord. A plant that has fibers that can be spun into thread, that can then be made into shirts and hundreds of other things. And somewhere along the line, He gave somebody the brain to think and figure out how to do that.

And He gave us brains to think on even greater things:

“We have thought on your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.” Psalms 48:9 ESV

Garden Shot

It wasn’t that many months ago – and, it doesn’t look like this now. But, it was a wonderful blessing while it lasted and now I can look forward to next year. That’s the way our God is – we can look forward to blessings because He has provided in the past – and will continue.

“Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” Psalms 90:1-2

Blessings from God – Moon Flowers

Moon Flower with Bugs

I found this one hiding in the bushes out behind the garden. I didn’t think we would have any this year but there it was! (and actually another one is now blooming on the fence.)

I don’t know what kind of bugs are on the flower, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s still spectacular. And wonderful is appropriate too. It’s one of the wonderful things our Lord has done.

“I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.” Psalms 9:1 ESV

My fellow Christian Blogger, Heather King, graciously asked me to guest post today on her blog, Room To Breathe.

Please take a moment and visit her blog, and after you read my post, visit a while and read some of hers. I enjoy her use of every day life to point us to God.
