Blessed ... savoring the goodness

"I am endowed, supplied, granted, favoured, furnished, bestowed, happy, contented, glad, merry, joyous, joyful, blissful, divinely adored.  I am truly BLESSED."

I posted this on facebook this morning.  I am trying to keep my facebook posts sincere, reflective of my true life and self, but SHORT.  

Blessed ... it was the word that fit best, but I tried to find a more modern culturally relevant word for it.  So I looked up the meanings of some words and tried to describe this state of being that I find myself in.

I woke this morning tried to wipe the tired out of my eyes, tried to get my mind and attitude (and body) focused on the priorities of the day, to press to reach high to achieve my goals for the day.  As I did so my mind and my eyes took a look around and almost subconsciously took a “count your blessings” inventory.  I was blown away by the many good gifts in my life physically, relationally, spiritually, and professionally.  So I looked for way to describe it because it is not just a gift, it is that my life is full of those things that don’t just bring happiness but joy, not just joy but satisfaction and contentment; it is not just pride in some kind of job well done, but rather a confident sense of stewardship with the opportunities and gifts I have been furnished and granted; this humbling sense of gratitude and sincere thankfulness, mixed with joy and gladness, and this understanding that much has been bestowed on me and into my life, and this awareness of having my life adorned with good things, things worthy of note and praise. 

 So so many things… from the BIG to the teeny tiny stuff, I look all around me and say,

I am BLESSED!  

I don’t want to miss savoring each bit of all the goodness life also has. 

I am blessed.  I am blessed to be a blessing.
