How BLESSED am I?

Well...... I do not have to go to work tomorrow! It is so amazing that yet again my school is never ceasing to leave me jaw-dropped! At my school, due to parent conferences and the mass involvement of parents, teachers take a whole day off to have meetings with parents! I am just an aide so I get the day off! How wonderful is that!? I do not mean to brag but I love my job and I love my God for blessing me! He has unlimited amounts of favor to pour out on all of us. It is up to us to obey His every call to obtain that favor. I always compare it to a school child:

Picture a classroom filled with children. They are all working on an activity. Most of the kids seem to get along with it very well. However, there are 2 struggling. One child raises his hand to ask for help. The teacher comes and gives instruction. A few moments later that child needs help again. He raises his hand and his teacher once more comes to help. This continues to happen throughout work time. What about the other child who was struggling? Did he ever raise his hand? He may have once or maybe not at all. You see, it is not that the teacher favors one child more than the other. It is the simple truth that the one child who asked and asked and asked......well he received! Like the teacher, God comes to the aide of those who seek and ask Him for help. He pours out help and favor to those who call upon His name always! How can he help you when you do not ask?

Blessings~
