It's an awesome and amazing blessing to be in Aggieland today, because the weather is absolutely gorgeous! It's days like this that always make me step back and think about the blessings in my life, because as a person who is constantly moving and traveling outside, the weather being nice is one of the greatest blessings that God can give to me. But why is it that I only see the blessings on a beautiful day?
I think it has a lot to do with our lifestyle as students, and even as working adults. Stress, distraction, and sin all cloud our ability to see the many, many blessings God has poured out on us. When you're stressed about a test or assignment or at work, it can be so difficult to take even a moment to think about how the Lord has blessed you - in fact, he's blessed you with the opportunity to take those tests and have those assignments and work those jobs! I find it ironic that I get so caught up in these types of blessings that I look past them as a gift from God and dismiss them as something I am annoyed with or weary of. Then I wonder - What else have I been missing in my life that is a blessing from God? Sit down and think about that for a moment - if you're anything like me you'll be surprised.
On my walk outside today I soaked up the cool weather and beautiful sun rays - thanking God every step of the way. Let's take off the stress that covers us and soak up God's bountiful blessings!
