Gifts from God

Yesterday our pastor taught on Romans 11:22a, the loving kindness of our God. I don't remember him ever giving us homework before but he ended the sermon by giving us a two part assignment. The first day he asked us to think on God's kindness and what that means to us. While considering His kindness my mind went to the many gifts He has given to me. This is by no means an exhaustive list but just some of things that I thought of:

children_______________________godly husband
health_________________________house
family_________________________sight
mobility_______________________neighbors
church_________________________friends
food __________________________contentment
pastors________________________cars
dishwasher_____________________washer
dryer__________________________bible
His direction/leading__________quiet time w/ Him
laughter_______________________sunshine
mountains______________________hugs
walks__________________________Jesus
songs__________________________siblings
godly counsel__________________parents
travel_____________________indoor plumbing
salvation______________________rest

Many of these things may not at first glance appear to be gifts but I believe that they are. A gift is something we recieve that is undeserved. What gifts from God might be on your list?

for His glory!
