Absent Blessings – things that the Lord has spared me from
30 days of thanksgiving:
91. Not experienced the death of a parent
92. Not experienced the death of a sibling
93. Never been without food
94. Never been without water
95. Never lacked clothing
96. Never lacked shelter
97. Never lacked employment
98. Never experienced physical persecution for my faith
99. Never had my heart broken by a guy
100. Never had severe physical affliction
Though I have not had much affliction in my life, I pray that that will not keep me from pursuing my Savior fervently. I am challenged by those who are severely afflicted yet intensely secure in the Lord. I want to be prepared for affliction if/when it comes by storing up treasures of truth in my heart during happy times. Help me, Lord.
