Trophies And ToolsSample

## TROPHIES (Part 1) Trophies come in all shapes and sizes. When we normally think of a trophy we think of something big, shiny, and golden. It’s something that we have been given because of our dedication and hard work (or sometimes for just showing up.) As we get older, trophies look different. They come in the form of an ‘A’ on an algebra test, an acceptance letter into college, a dream job, a promotion, a first house, a new car, an engagement, a pregnancy test, and so on. These blessings are easy for us to talk about. We post about them on social media, tell our friends, and even celebrate them. We can spend so much time glorifying our blessings that we forget we were given them to glorify God. Focus: The blessings we receive are from God but sometimes we get so caught up in our works that we get fooled into having a sense of entitlement. Spend some time today reflecting on the blessings our Father has given us. Express to Him intimately in prayer how thankful you are to have a Father that continues to love and bless us, even when we are so undeserving.
