Dad's Ramblings -- Counting Our Blessings

COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS
Esther 5:10-13
 
Haman called his friends and family together and recounted all the good things in his life – his wealth, his family, his success and position in the kingdom . Then he added,
 
" 'Yet all these things avail me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's
table.' "
 
Haman had so much to be thankful for. Yet one thing stuck in his craw that cancelled all the good things in his life. He could not stand the fact that Mordecai refused to bow before him. It's a shame that so often one thing becomes so huge in our minds that we do not really enjoy all the good things God has given. What a tragedy that insignificant molehills become mountains and block our vision.
 
Today's Thought: One thing can keep us from enjoying our blessings if we allow it.
 
Have a thankful day. Love you.
