'We've been Blessed!', those were the words waiting for me in a text from Chad just a moment ago. I'm sitting here listening to Brad Paisley and feeling at peace from life's craziness for the first time in awhile, and in comes Chad's message.
Those three words floored me like none have floored me in awhile...and not because of the message that followed, but just for the mere fact that here is a man that would open himself up enough to accept this new found Blessing and embrace what the Lord has provided for him, for us, for our families and praise Him and acknowledge His grace with those three simple words...'We've been Blessed'.
He has been through enough in life that would warrant a lessor man to just give up, but he has opted to allow the Lord into his life in such a way that he can see even the simplest of things as a Blessing and for that I am truly Blessed. Are we millionaires? Did he just win at Lotto? LOL No, not even close. There's no new car, house or trip around the world waiting for us...we have a simple Blessing and a little less to worry about...thanks to God.
