Blessings - Pink Saturday Miracle Makeover

I was in the process of posting a comment on Beverly's Pink Saturday Miracle Makeover, when I realized, I could actually post it here and contribute to the event.

We do not realize, all the time, the blessings we have.В  I was sitting in my husband's hospital room, looking at all the supplies, beds, and staff there and in the hall of ICU/IMC (even the regular room he was moved to later).В  I was overwhelmed with gratitude to Jehovah-God for the richness of His blessings to us as a country.В  Later, on the way home, I thought about the blessing of His love in salvation but also for the many blessings He gives us freely, like answered prayer during this A-fib, COPD situation my husband and I are facing.В  I waited at the traffic light and pondered the depth of God's blessings, something I cannot begin to understand and something I could never repay.В  I was reminded of a Psalm.В  In the margin of my New American Standard Bible, I have penned the New English Version of Psalm 116:12-13

В "How can I repay the Lord for all His acts of kindness to me?В  I will celebrate my deliverance and call on the name of the Lord."

And in thinking about His kindness, I pondered how kind we should be ...and expect nothing in return.
