HOW TO NEARLY MISS IT!

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights. with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

For those who read this blog from far away I'll explain that I had told some friends recently on a Monday that that week God had some lovely surprises for us.  So I was excited and every day I got up I thanked the Lord for the lovely surprise He had for me and others.   I was expecting!
Each day went by as normal and nothing seemed to be any different but I kept expecting.

On the Friday my daughter came by with a big black bag and just said oh there's some brand new posh Romo material in there she had been given, but didn't particularly like it, so gave it to me and told me to pass it on if I didn't like it.  It went in the spare room and I promptly forgot about it!

She was so unenthusiastic about it that I never even looked in it till the following week!!  I had forgotten I was expecting something from the Lord!  And guess what - there was my surprise!  Yards and yards of neutral shades curtain material suitable for my dining room.  It wasn't to her taste but will look lovely in my house.  

It had arrived within the week God had said but I hadn't recognised it or acknowledged it!  How awful to have been given such a blessing and not to acknowledge it!  God is very patient with me!!!

So after my confession 😊 now I'm encouraging you all to not only believe for what God says He'll do for us, not only expect it and keep believing for it, but to recognise it and acknowledge it when it comes.  Don't be like me and nearly miss it!!

How often are we receiving all our blessings from God and not recognising they come from His good and kind hands.

Thank You Lord for all Your wonderful blessings to us every day. Help us to recognise them more and more and give you all the glory.
