Lord, I don’t know why it’s so easy to forget that we are continuously blessed by God. We forget that time is a gift in itself and we don’t always use it wisely. We complain, we want for more than what we have, we see situations within the confines of “human” time rather than God’s time. Outsiders see only what we’re against and not what we’re for.  Each moment in our lives is just another chance to reflect the love of Jesus…to reflect His forgiveness, His mercy, and His grace. You came to this earth not to be served but to serve. So let’s serve You and Your people with a humble heart, an open heart, and a grateful heart.  Lord, open up our minds so that we  can be better followers of You.
