A Season of Thanksgiving
Why One Hundred Thousand Blessings? Why a blog?
As I walk through yet another valley in my journey through life, I find myself in a season of blessing and thanksgiving. Odd, you may think….how can one be in the valley and be blessed? What I’ve come to learn as I enter my 39th year is that I’ve been looking at things from a
distorted perspective.
Aiming for the mountaintop has left me weary and disillusioned – striving to attain, gain and maintain. But in His gentle voice and by the leading of His gentle hand, my Heavenly Father has been showing me that my life is a valley life peppered with occaisional trips, with Him, to the mountaintop. The valley may sometimes feel narrow, confining, limiting, BUT……when I’m in the valley I walk more closely with the Lord, my Beloved. And it is in that walk, that relationship, that He has begun to show me that they valley is lush, cool, virbrant and full of unexpected blessings.
Perhaps unexpected because my eyes have become blinded with want and have failed to see the One Hundred Thousand Blessings that cross my path each day.
So, welcome to my journey through a Season of unexpected blessings and thanksgiving.
