Blessings

Good evening my faithful readers!
Here where I live we have the real life children's ranch. They take in kids who were abandon by their parents. It's a really wonderful thing what they do for these kids! Some of the kids have been coming to my church. Every Sunday I make sure I go and say hi. This past Sunday a little girl who was 7(and the sweetest thing ever!!) and me just clicked right away. She grabbed ahold of my legs and wouldn't let me go. During vbs I had a little 5 year old from the ranch in my group. He was so sweet and nice. One of my co leaders didn't know he was from the ranch and told him he had to wait for his parents. My heart broke when he said " I don't have a mom or dad." a little 5 year old boy saying this! I thought how in the world could anyone abandon this precious gift from God!? These kids didn't have a choice. They didn't say I want to be left. They just were. We all take so many things in life for granted. I have a home and a family. These kids don't. Although my parents drive me crazy at times, I have them. God gives us so many blessings in life that we don't see. Many we should open our eyes open more and realize just how blessed we are! Not saying this in a boastful way but God has giving me a heart for kids. I love them to death. Seeing just these few kids without parents made me want to do something. I'm working on seeing what I have to do to volunteer there. Giving up my time to just show these kids hey there is someone who cares for you. God will place people in your life. He gives you blessings. What you do with the blessing is up to you. But I know I want to make my Father happy. I know what blessings He gives me and I want to take good care of them. Because one day these blessings won't be in our life if we don't. What's God blessing you with tonight? Comment and let me know! Don't forget to email me your prayer request at hityourkneesinprayer@gmail.com 


But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7 NIV)
Yes, this will be the blessing
for the man who fears the Lord. (Psalm 128:4 NIV)
