Alphabetical Blessings

Grandma Danny inserted in her bible a typewritten sheet listing 26 blessing we all receive from God. One beginning with each letter in the alphabet from A to Z. Each blessing has a reference to the Bible as well. The first is the letter A. The Blessing is for “Acceptance, which can never be questioned. (Ephesians 1:6).”

In case you want to go on your own treasure hunt I won’t go further for now, but will on occassion unearth another nugget of treasure discovered by Danny.
What I find so fascinating and admirable is Grandma Danny didn’t mine the Bible for sins, abominations, or what others can’t or shouldn’t do. She didn’t underline “thou shall not’s.” Instead, she very methodically documented 26 different alphabetical blessings which she was thankful for receiving. There is a wonderful lesson here for all of us.
