God daily loads us with benefits as His word says but most times ,we hardly notice.This is due most times to the fact that we have a TTD list for Him and seem to want to send him a "you have forgotten to do reminder". In 2 Cor 4 v 15-17,the Bible says"......not a day goes by without his unfolding grace....." The Message.
Not one day do we ever go through without God's benefits.Last time,I was talking about my friend.This same friend still had another encounter.This time around she was stuck with the last cash at home and was already running late ,so she decided to take a one way train to work.On arrival at her stop,she decided to start walking down to work and was approached by some people who asked for her directions.
She gave them directions and just as she turned to leave,they decided to show their appreciation for her time.They handed hersome paper.She looked and saw it was 3 valid megariders(weekly bus passes).They were actually strangers who had come to town and were leaving .She thanked them and started to think as she walked to work about the goodness of God.Leaving the house in the morning without a bus pass and suddenly being in possession of 3 buspasses for a week.Funny how God provides with more than enough,no wonder we insure with him!
Reminds me of Joseph,one day he woke up in the prison house and by evening,he slept in the palace.O that's Joseph you may say but I just want to encourage you today(and myself also)to thank God for his little mercies.In all the little ways....that you are sane,woke up on your own bed this morning,was not woken up by the sound of gunshots,brushed your teeth by yourself,you were able to make a wee,that you can even see and are knowlegeable enough to use the net and read this lovely article...yeah,there is somuch to be grateful for if we can but look.It is time to cultivate an attitude and atmosphere of praise,for there God's presence will dwell and become more real.

When a young minister was still single, he preached a sermon he entitled "Rules for Raising Children." After he got married and had children of his own, he changed the title of the sermon to "Suggestions for Raising Children." When his children got to be teen-agers, he stopped preaching on that subject altogether.
