living in abundance

Tonight, on the way back from a dinner in Virginia Beach we needed to fill the car with gas.  After surveying prices in an area that generally is reasonable for gasoline we pulled into a convenience store with gas pumps.  This was not a national franchise convenience store but it certainly had a catchy name above the main entrance: Featuring their fried chicken prominently the sign said "Gizzards and More".  I suppose it's hard to imagine just how good life is with Gizzards and then the very idea of Gizzards and More just about leaves you breathless.  I was pleased just to buy gasoline for less than $3 a gallon.  But it is good to count our blessings, whether they include gizzards, wings or drumsticks.  These days I'm especially grateful to be able to play with a two year-old grandson named Peter (enough fun to make you forget the joys of gizzards).  I hope you don't have to look far to realize how blessed you are, with the joys of life that the Lord has poured out on you!
 
Genesis 49:25 By the God of your father who will help you,
      And by the Almighty who will bless you
      With blessings of heaven above,
      Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
      Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
 
blessings and more,
Rob Smith
