“So this morning while I was at the nail salon the gentleman that was doing my nails..me and him began talking and he was so kind..Amen..and I said that to him..I said you have very kind heart..and he says to me thank you ma’am..you as well are kind..Amen..and so he goes on to saying that in his country where he is from that the people have it really hard there..and he says to me when I was younger..I remember that if we were ever to get an apple..it was so sacred..he says because it was a gift..Amen..he says it was as if it came to us straight down from heaven..Amen..and he goes on to saying that facing things in life and difficulties that it helps you always to be kind and grateful..Amen..and I say to him you are so correct..I said when people face things in life it truly does help you to be very kind and grateful in your own..Amen..he says the people here in America are so blessed and some don’t even realize just how blessed..Amen!”

“And I said yes sir you are so right..Amen..because we all seem to murmur and complain about life..and our lives..and what not..but then you hear the stories of people who get an apple..and from that apple they’re so thankful and so very grateful for it..that to them it is the hugest blessing and gift..Amen..the man says coming straight down from heaven..Amen..and than here we are so blessed..with every good and perfect gift..I always say someone else would love your life..Amen..for many would love to have a spouse but they don’t have one..maybe theirs is past on..for many have a sick child that they take care of day in and day out..for most they ride a bus and have to stand for hours on end just to get home after they’ve worked all day long..for many have family that are fighting sickness in their bodies..for others they are trying to just make ends meat..Amen..for many are fighting to overcome drug abuse..Amen..for others they are in an abusive relationship just not sure how to get out of it..for many are facing fears in life..for many are going through and battling depression..anxiety..but I do know that sometimes we fail to see the blessings..sometimes we fail to be kind..or caring..or loving..I really don’t know..but what I do know is that I pray we all daily count our blessings..and that we are ever so grateful for our lives..and that there isn’t one day that you would ever let pass you by without giving thanks to the Lord..1 Thessalonians 5:18..Amen..because the Lord does give and the Lord takes away..but blessed be the name of the Lord..Amen..for we are blessed and we are blessed indeed..let us never forget what all the Lord has done and what all the Lord continues to do in our lives..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
