A hot air balloon. The barn. A vase of tulips or a basket of apples. Sometimes the puzzle pieces we get stuck with are EASY. Everything flies together. 1. 2. 3. No delays, no hiccups. It is puzzling at its very finest.
Life sometimes seems like that. Our pieces are EASY. Health. Happiness. A pay raise at work after a wonderful vacation. A new baby on the way. When "every" life piece God gives us is perfect, it's a simple thing to take it for granted, to want even more, or use it all selfishly. It takes intentional work to steward our gifts wisely, consciously pursue contentment, and thank God for those blessings He has inserted into our lives. And the promises is that when we do these things -- not that our blessings will never be taken away, but that we will glorify our God and live in the joy of His presence (Psalm 16:11).
