| Childhood home - Xmas 2016 |
Welcome to 40 Days Of Gratitude day 39; it's Christmas Day! Thank the Lord for keeping us through this journey, and what an adventure! We now have 1 days of focusing on our blessings and not our problems to complete this challenge. FORTY DAYS of being GRATEFUL! That is F-O-R-T-Y D-A-Y-S!! Do you know what this means, we have strengthened the neurons in our brains to be positive and think of our blessings more often. Thank sharing this awesome experience with me. I am looking forward to reading your comments and sharing your stories: Revelations, problems solved, ideas conceived and birthed etc.
🙏🙏🙏
At the end of the devotion I invite you to do a short quiet reflection of 5 - 10 minutes. Breathe deeply and focus on your breath - inhalation and exhalation. If your mind is "busy" repeat the gratitude of the day or your own personal gratitude that comes to mind. This quite time will allow you to hear from God.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Today I am grateful and thankful that I have lived to see another Christmas, and grateful that I am spending it with my brothers and sister at our family home in Jamaica. Last year we lost our dear mother on October 15th and I fell and broke my leg while here to attend her funeral. I saw some dark and dismal days in the months following but praise God for the healer that he is. His words said that he is acquainted with our sorrows and he knows our grief and I know that I can depend on Him to deliver me out of all my troubles. Today I rejoice because my confidence is in the Lord.
THOUGHT TO FOCUS ON:
My brothers and sisters are the first friends I ever had, it delights my heart to be with them.
SCRIPTURE:
Psalm 133:1 (TPT) How truly wonderful and delightful to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity!
PRAYER:
Loving God, thank you so much for the opportunity and the privilege to spend time with my siblings. Thank you for healing our sorrows from the loss of our beloved uncle Trevor in 2016, dear mother Lydia in 2017 and our young nephew Brandon in 2018, and for keeping us safe. Remember Barry and Annis who are not able to be with us, surround them and their families with your grace, love and protection. I pray for our continued health and happiness; for cooperation and unity; to be there to give our support during difficult times and to celebrate the good times. Continue to guide, protect and provide for our every need and desires. I bless your name Father, In Jesus name I pray, AMEN 🙏🙏🙏
