Reading: Psalm 23
“You
anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”
Psalm 23:5
If we have eyes to see it, all around us our cup is
overflowing. To take that first deep breath in the morning is a blessing. To
feel the softness of slippers. To smell coffee. Perhaps to hear a loving voice.
Blessing. The Babylonian Talmud instructs the pious Jew to bless God one
hundred times each day. Blessed are you, O God, for the light blue snow at
sunset. Blessed are you, O God, for the crescent moon. Blessed are you, O God,
for the eyes of that child. Blessed are
you, O God, for the song of the wind. For these amazing fingers. For lentils.
For wool. Imagine a life lived, steeped in blessing. My cup overflows.
God
the Good Shepherd, lead us beside still waters, that we may see your many
blessings and bless you. Amen
- Give
thanks 100 times today.
