Motivations from the Heart of Paula Williams-Gaillard
TIMBERRRRRRR!!
Trees are falling here, there and everywhere in Georgia! Since a recent rash of storms and heavy rainfall, Georgians are getting hit really hard! Large, humongous trees are uprooting and causing havoc and headaches for thousands.
Today my husband and I came home to find we too were victims of TREEMADAMESSITIS (pronounced tree-made-a-mess-itis), okay I never said I was a comedian . Anyhow, a huge tree fell in our backyard. Thankfully the tree fell backwards or else it would have caused major damage to the "man-cave" and laundry room.
After we cleaned up most of the debris in the yard, my husband came in to watch the news. It was then when I heard an anchorman respond to a field reporter's interview with victims of TREE...you know what , his response was "THEY SHOULD COUNT THEIR BLESSINGS"! I shouted "now that's what I'm talkin' about"! While the victims were talking about trivial matters, in a subtle yet powerful way, the anchorman pointed out to some and reminded others of the AWESOMENESS OF GOD!
As I continued to wash dishes, I started humming an old song we sang back in the day.....
"Count your Blessings. name them one by
one, count your Blessings see what God has
done, count your Blessings name them one
by one....OH...count your many Blessings see
what God has done!"
HALLELUJAH! OH when I think of the goodness of Jesus and all HE'S done for me, my soul cries out HALLELUJAH, I Thank God for saving me!!!! (Let me stop before I start with all the oldies but goodies)! LOL
Pastor Joel Osteen often says instead of looking at the things that are going wrong in your life, focus on what's right, even if it's just one thing! Colossians 3:2 says, "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth."
Today it is my Prayer for you to COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!!! Look, things may not be going the way YOU think they should, but count it all JOY! Look where you were 26 years ago.....16 years ago...6 years ago.....6 months ago...awe stop playin'....6 days ago...if HE brought you through then, HE'LL DO IT AGAIN! God brought you through when you didn't know how you were going to make it....when you didn't know how the bills were going to get paid....when you wondered how one body could take so much pain....when you thought you were gon' lose your mind....when you said "if it ain't 2 things it's 3" (thanks Daddy)....when you thought no one would ever love you...but after 31 years HE sent you your BOAZ (this one is for me).....when sin.....sickness and dis-ease...oppression and depression had you bound.......HIS LOVE....HIS GRACE....HIS MERCY LIFTED YOU...OH WHEN YOU THINK OF HIS GOODNESS AND ALL HE'S DONE FOR YOU.....YOU BETTER SHOUT HALLELUJAH AND THANK GOD FOR HIS SON JESUS....WHO DIED & AROSE TO SET YOU FREE!
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS TODAY!!!!
You are already Blessed so be Encouraged,
Love ya,
Paula
