Not by luck...

So St Patrick's Day has come and gone and with it the "luck" of the Irish...

Got me thinking about all the phrases...

I am so lucky...
Good luck...
Lucky me...

Made me think about how wrong they all are. Truth is the things that are given to me in my life aren't because I am just plain lucky...and thank God for that. If life depended on pure luck, we would all be a lost cause. Thank the Lord it is by His grace that we have all we have in our lives. I don't know about you but I am incredibly blessed and it wasn't by my pure luck!

It's not by luck that I am healthy.

It's not by luck that I met a wonderful husband.

It's not by luck that I have three beautiful children who are all healthy.

It's not by luck that Brian and I moved to Richmond and he has a good job here.

It's not by luck we found a wonderful church.

It's not by luck that I opened a preschool in my home and it's successful.

And PRAISE GOD it's not by luck I made a decision to trust a Savior who can bless me daily with all these wonderful riches. He chose me for His own and thank God...it wasn't by luck!
