"The Lord said to her in reply, 'Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.' " - Luke 10:41-42 

The squirrel was positioned on the tree.  Couldn't decide whether to pounce and attack, or to quietly shimmy down and go some place else. 

These are decisions we often face.  Do you attack and criticize?  Or do you keep to yourself and walk away? 

The squirrel made the better choice.  It came down without a fuss and scampered away. 

What choice would you make?

BLESSED

"Blessed are the poor in spirit ... Blessed are they who mourn ... Blessed are the meek ... Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness ... Blessed are the merciful ... Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven." - Matthew 5:3-12 

I heard an interview with a player reflecting on being named to play in the 2019 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.  "Blessed," he stated.  "I am blessed."  He must have used the word "blessed" to describe his feelings at least a dozen times in the short interview. 

We are all "blessed" in one way or another.  We live in a democratic society; we own homes and cars; we have employment and schooling options; we have access to good health.  We can practice our religion freely; we are forgiven of our sins and transgressions; we have a Savior that died for us; we have a relationship with a God that loves us. 

We ARE "blessed."  How many times do you acknowledge it? 

Loving Father, I am Blessed.  I am truly Blessed.  Thank you.  Amen.
