Do you ever feel "overly" blessed? Well, that is where I am tonight. I am overwhelmed by the love and grace the Father has shown me and stand in awe at the bounty of blessings before me.
I sometimes wonder "why me?" Why, Lord, did you pick me? A sinner unworthy of You. I often times feel like the little "dumpster puppy" at the pound. Of all the other dogs in the kennel, I feel like Jesus said "That one, daddy. I want that one." I have done nothing and could never do anything to deserve His love.
I know that there are times in our Christian walk when we must go through the valley. These are the times when we depend the most on the Lord. But today I feel like I am on a mountain. Don't get me wrong. I am depending on Him plenty. The very essence of my being is rooted in Him. It's as if I have nowhere to go but down, but I don't ever want to get off this mountain.
I see so much pain in the world. Hunger, poverty, sickness, death, the lost, depression, infertility, hopelessness. I feel so blessed that none of these are part of my life right now, but I hurt for those who are dealing with these issues. I wish there was something I could do to help. Unfortunately, I cannot, but I pray for you to the one who can, the Lord God Almighty.
Thanks for reading my thoughts as I ramble tonight. Have a blessed night.

I totally understand where you are coming from. I feel "overly" blessed too all the time. I try not to think of it in terms of not deserving it, I try to think of it in terms of living my best everyday so that I do deserve it. Thank you for your post. I enjoy so much reading about others optimism and joy. It makes me happy to know there are others out there as happy as I am right now :)
