We have all benefited from the rich blessings he brought to us-blessing upon blessing heaped upon us! - John 1:16 (TLB) |

Greetings!
 The fall season is upon us and with that comes the reflections of God's great gifts. From the golden sunshine to the changing leaves to the crisp air that refreshes the soul - I pause to thank the Lord for all his blessings great and small.
I love vineyards and how grapes grow abundantly. I like to think of our life as a bushel of grapes that the Lord is pouring out the fruits of the Spirit upon us. Each bushel representing an individual, each grape representing a sweet blessing from our Lord.
Come before Him with thankful hearts. Let us sing him psalms of praise.
- Psalm 95:2 (TLB)
Let us praise our Lord. He feels our gratitude through our daily prayer and thanksgiving. He smiles upon us when we give our life over to Him and trust Him with all our heart. Our gratitude to the Lord opens the doors wide for Him to shower His blessings upon us. And the Lord's blessings are abundant.
Take the time to write down your blessings. Reflect on them daily. You will see a pattern of the Lord working abundantly in your life. When we become aware and make a conscious effort to see these blessings, our hearts and minds are flooded with an overflowing sweetness of the Lord's hand in our life.
Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of - infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. - Ephesians 3:20 (TLB)
As we give glory to God - let us think about His mighty power at work within us. God is always teaching us to be grateful and to stretch beyond today and work toward His Will. What is God asking you to do in your life? What is the journey and nudges that He is giving you to fulfill? Listen for the Lord's voice and follow Him. He is speaking to you daily and is rewarding you in abundance.
"Nothing of great value in this life comes easily. The things of highest value sometimes come hard. The gold that has the greatest value lies deepest in the earth, as do the diamonds."
- Norman Vincent Peale

With "I and my Father are one" - the "deal" will never get better!
With a direct conduit from love and truth - we don't need to strive
for anything - our job is to bless.

The "Healing Power of 23rd Psalm" booklet completely turned my life around.
I now realize God is always with me.

As I go through my daily life, I encounter folks who don't know what Guideposts is or who Dr. Peale is. I share my experiences and how much he and the literature have changed my own life. The positiveness of his message is what God is all about.
- Iris from Colorado
The first thing I do after awakening in the morning is I walk into my garden to meet up with the Lord. I share what is on my mind and wait in the silence
to hear His answer. I listen...as I go about my morning routine.
I leave the garden trusting, knowing. The rest is easy.
- Nitza from New York
