As we prepare to look back at 2018 and some of the things we’ve been able to experience, it’s important for us to remember the Source of our ability to enjoy this lifestyle. It’s vital to remember that without God’s approval, none of this would be possible.
Some of my favorite verses that speak to this are found in Deuteronomy Chapter 8. These words were given to the recently freed Israelites after they’d left hundreds of years of Egyptian slavery. Moses reminds them to remain humble and also where to place their gratitude.
Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe His commands, His laws and His decrees that I am giving you this day. (verse 11)
Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, (verses 12-13)
THEN your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God. (verse 14 – emphasis added)
You may say to yourself, “MY power and the strength of MY hands have produced this wealth for me.” (verse 17 – emphasis added)
But remember the LORD your God, for it is HE who gives you the ability to produce wealth . . . (verse 18 – emphasis added)
We have certainly not forgotten that it is only through the Father that His children are blessed. And we humbly recognize and praise Him for His bounteous blessings to us!
Below is a small pictorial sampling of the blessings we’ve enjoyed this past year! And sadly, this is just the ones we have pictures of. There are sooooo many more!
Sorry. I’m not taking the time to label them for you. 😊
