Aren't we blessed?

Each day is a new experience! There are days when I am happy; days, I speak nonstop; days,that actually make me feel sad,there are days where i laugh non stop, make others laugh, should i call them days of joy!!! yea..
I have also seen days that make me feel frustrated, days that make me feel weird, days that make me feel low!! Yea.. Each of us feel different every other day! Each day i meet different kinds of people.

Yesterday was a day i ended up in tears.

I met a family during field visit. Husband , wife and a daughter. He was in his 50's and weighs
30 kgs!!! Not able to walk few meters. His wife was also sick. Their daughter who is 22 years old, is suffering from stomach pain. The whole family looked weak and there was no source of income.  I was shocked. whom do they blame about? Their health? their situation? The whole family was in tears when i asked them what do they do for living? They said that they get rice from one of their relative. But what about other expenses?? They don't even have money to go to the hospital; or people who would take them to the hospital.  Aren't we blessed!! We complain about the food we eat? we complain about our health- tho' its just an head ache or a normal cough? we complain about our dress,we complain about our earnings, we complain that we do not have time for entertainment.. wen i saw that family with nothing in that house- just few vessels and some rice- I was broken.We take things for granted. There are people who has just an handful of food that they get every day and still they survive with it. Thanking God for what i have today.

Prayer

A Prayerless life cannot be God guided life. One never understands the power of prayer until they pray.Its not just knocking a door, its a personal experience or intimate relationship with God.Everything we ask through prayer are not received nor answered. Anything according to His will is answered through prayer. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.(ps 37.23) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. romans 12.2
Its time to pray. Its time to surrender yourself unto God. He speaks to you and through you. All you have to do is to open your ears to listen to His voice.
