Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. Psalm 107:8-9

For most people we like to be rewarded and praised for our actions. God is no different. As our Heavenly Father watches over us, He supplies what's necessary to sustain us daily. Our acknowledgment and gratitude for His goodness shows how much we appreciate and love Him. 

Without a grateful and thankful heart we redirect those blessings back to Him. If we are not sensitive and grateful for His blessings...even the smallest of blessings...then He will reduce or totally stop blessing us.  The only way to truly see those blessings is to stay in a constant state of prayer and give thanks to God. Even the smallest of things like an open parking space, a $20 bill laying on the ground by your car, a bill that was cancelled just because are blessings from God and should be acknowledged.  

God gives us blessings everyday...small to big. Our awareness and thankfulness of His blessings primes Him for our next one. And when we share our blessings with others we multiply their value. 

How aware are you of His blessings. Does the well seem dry? Maybe it's time to stop looking at the negative and thank Him for what you have. Then when blessings come, double their value by sharing with others in need. God will bless you daily by your gratitude and generousity. Thank Him today and every day!
