5Many blessings pass by us every day. All we have to do is acknowledge this and believe that they are meant for us and take them as they are given. Whether big or small, significant or insignificant, expected or unexpected, every blessing is freely given to us from our Heavenly Father who loves us dearly. This author describes how a blessing, in the form of a gum wrapper, changed his life forever after being released from criminal charges for the fourth consecutive time. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior in a six-by-twelve-feet cell and was set free-both spiritually and physically. With many tasks ahead of him, he describes that change starts where you are, and that Christ is the foundation of it all. "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much" Luke 16:10. Artist credit: Zachary Miles Martinez
