Why Me?

   If it is one thing that I know for sure, it is that I am a blessed man.

   As I sit here in the early morning quiet, this fact is ever present in my mind. There are several things that come to mind as I think on this:

   I am thankful.

   I did nothing to deserve them.

   They are not the result of any goodness on my part.

   I need to receive them with an open hand.

   I do not need to cling to them.

   I need to share them.

   Then there is the thought from a few days back: There are people this morning who are praying for the same things that I take for granted.

   God, let me live out these thoughts in my life today.

   Amen
