God's Little Post It Notes

Hi all-

I know it's been quite a few months since I've uploaded a post. I thought I was going to have more time to blog. But I've realized that I just need to make the time.

Well I receive these emails every day called "Girlfriends in God" and they always start with a bible verse, go into a story and a teaching and then end with a prayer. Most of them are great, and I always get a lot out of them. One of the ones from this week was really good and it was talking about the invention of Post-It-Notes and how they have changed our world. :) Kind of a different way of thinking about them. Well the author of this email goes into how, one of the reasons we use post-it-notes is to remember things. Well she starts talking about "God's Post-it-Notes" (the little reminders in our live that God is always there). She talks about how we forget these a lot and how we need to count our blessings and really think about what "Post-It-Notes" God is leaving us as reminders of His Amazing Love.

Here are some of my "Post-It-Notes":

  • The beautiful blue sky with NO clouds today
  • Spring flowers
  • Spending time with my Family
  • Coffee Dates with some awesome people
  • Single Girls Bible Study
  • Sunsets
  • Being able to pray openly every day
  • A roof over my head
  • Trees blowing in the wind
  • Watching a deaf kid hear for the first time
  • Playing outside with the little kids I babysit for
  • Ability to walk
The list could go on and on, but I think sometimes we forget our blessings and get caught up in the world and it's problems that we forget how AWESOME our God is and there is so much we should be thankful for. I am glad that I thought about this God and used this opportunity to think of all the post-it-notes that I forget to be thankful for.

What are YOUR post-it-note reminders from God? Take a moment tonight before you go to bed and write down your blessings for the day!
