Do you realize how incredible blessed you are? How blessed we are? I know that I am blessed far more than I deserve. While I know how blessed I am, I sometimes find myself thinking that the grass is greener on the other side. I fail to see many of my daily blessings because I am so focused on what I think my blessings are supposed to look like. But the Lord is working on my heart. Through books like Ann Voskamp’s “One Thousand Gifts” & verses from His Word He is teaching me to focus on my blessings. Because the grass isn’t greener on the other side, the grass is greener where I water it.
Today focus on your blessings. And remember, the grass is greener where you water it.

I love the statement of the grass is greener where you water it. That is awesome.
