Reading: Psalm 23
“You
anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”
Psalm 23:5
If we have eyes to see it, ears to hear it, senses to feel
it, all around us our cup is overflowing. To take that first deep breath in the
morning is a blessing. To feel the softness of slippers. To smell coffee. Perhaps
to hear a loving voice. Blessing. The Babylonian Talmud instructs the pious Jew
to bless God one hundred times each day. Blessed are you, O God, for the light
blue snow at sunset. Blessed are you, O God, for the crescent moon. Blessed are
you, O God, for the eyes of that child.
Blessed are you, O God, for the song of the wind. For these amazing
fingers. For lentils. For wool. Imagine a life lived, steeped in blessing. My
cup overflows.
God
the Good Shepherd, lead us beside still waters, that we may see your many
blessings and bless you. Amen
- Give
thanks 100 times today.
