I have this beautiful story of how God brought us an ottoman that exactly fits into our brown leather couch. As I looked at it the other day, I realized that the leather was beginning to crack and I needed to do something before it was permanently damaged.

We all have such tremendous blessing in our hand right now - but in the humdrum and busyness of life, we can forget what is ours and neglect it. You know what I mean,
- taking relationships for granted because they're just there or
- complaining about the things we don't like in our job without remembering how amazing it is to be contributing to the world and
- then there's forgetting the astounding privilege of being a child of God because our complaints against Him are in the forefront of our minds.
Just like I neglected to look after the ottoman - and was then given the opportunity to do something about it - this podcast episode outlines 3 ways to truly see the blessings of God in your life, and then intentionally live them out.
- Really notice what you have in front of you
- Ask the Lord what to do with it
- Dream with Him and then speak faith
Encourage someone you know by sharing this podcast episode with them - let's be a force for good in the world.
