Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

Psalm 103:1

When asked how I’m doing, I often reply: “I’m too blessed to be stressed!” Some think I’m just weird, but many smile and like it. I may not always feel too blessed, but in my heart, I know I am richly blessed. The Lord placed me under loving parents and has allowed me to be a happy husband, a thankful dad, and a proud grandpa. My family and friends love me, and I love them! My relationships are one of God’s many blessings to me. Not only did God create me and my loved ones, but He sent His Son to save me and His Holy Spirit to give me a new birth.

Lord, whose favors are divine, let all within me join and aid my tongue to bless Your name. Amen.

Reflect: Make a list of your blessings. Share it with a friend and encourage them to list theirs.
