As my birthday approaches and I reflect on another year and on my life and I realize that I've been given more than beyond measure. There are many things I can look back on and I'm like dam that was stupid I wish I didn't do that,(one in particular comes to mind that was terrible) but our decisions help make us who we are today whether good or bad decisions. All that aside I believe that with every seed of adversity there is one of equal or great value. Gratitude is a theme that you will see over and over again in this blog because I truly believe in the power of gratitude and what it can do in our lives. We all have much to be grateful for and be happy for in our lives. Lets all focus today on the small things in our life that brings us joy and lets realize that we've all been given more than beyond measure. There is a great song that I love, that I'm go leave you with today. The song is by Jermey Camp, a Christian Artist but this song can and should be applied to anyone of us regardless of any religious affiliation. The lyrics are written below and I'll also include a link to the song. Blast the song feel the emotion and change your life.
By the way the song is called Beyond Measure.
The fog has finally cleared to see, The beautiful life you've given me To feel the breeze of my newborn's gentle breath With one to walk hand in hand, To share this life that you have planned It's like a storybook with dreams That are meant to see every next step is an extraordinary scene
I know that I've been, Given more than beyond measure,I come alive when,I see beyond my fears I know that I've been given more than earthly treasure, I come alive when I've broken down and given You control
I've faced a great tragedy,But have seen the works of what You bring A display of faith that You give, I don't know if I will ever understand The depth of what it is You've done inside,But I know that I won't find any worth apart from You I know that I've been,Given more than beyond measure, I come alive when,I see beyond my fears I know that I've been given more than earthly treasure,I come alive when I've broken down and given You control Everything that I have Has been given so unselfishly And shown that even when I don't deserve You always show the fullness of Your love
I know that I've been,Given more than beyond measure,I come alive when,I see beyond my fears I know that I've been given more than earthly treasure,I come alive when I've broken down and given You control When I've broken down and given You control

Great! Very encouraging and very true even in my life. I have looked back over the past "few" years and thought for a moment if I could change some things I would, but then again I know God allowed them just to make me stronger and better "beyond measure". This really brings it even more into perspective. I, too, have been realizing that through my gratitude, God keeps bringing more good my way. It's like he can trust you more when he knows you are grateful with what you have, no matter how little you have. Just showing that you are grateful attracts the windows of heaven to be open to you. Thanks Art! Hope your birthday was a blessed one.
