Blessed be that's all there is

Monday August 22nd, Matthew 5: 5 You're blessed when you're content with just who you are--no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought. Just think of those lilies and birds, you can’t get better than that, but we try. The problem is that it is so easy to get caught up in the trying that we forget about the lilies and birds. We think we have to HAVE that stuff or we will somehow be less than. Instead of pursuing we are being pursued. We lose sight and we lose charge. When we are able to look around and simply say, wow, thanks, we begin to get the picture. When we get off the having to have merry-go-round, an the world stops spinning, we then find God has been there all along. We were just to busy going in circles to notice.
