Count Your Blessings

A group of people with their hands on a Bible, praying and thanking God for their blessings. This image represents faith and gratitude.
Be thankful for all that you have!

As human being it is not always easy to be grateful.

We are so comfortable with whatever we have that we tend to forget how important it truly is.

Very often, we only realize the importance of something that was once considered trivial when we lose it.

Is this speaking to you?

I am not talking about what you desire, what you are dreaming of, but about what you currently have.

You may think to yourself, " I have nothing...".

I can tell you that`s human.

But if you and me take a moment to think about what we have.

Let`s ask the real questions:

  • Am I alive?
  • Am I in good health?
  • Do I have a family?
  • Do I have a job?

If you have answered yes to any one of these questions, then you can be very grateful.

Some of us will probably answer yes to more than one.

And still, we don`t feel that we are blessed with what we have right now.

My friends, do not focus on those things that you don`t have.

Focus on the good things you have and be happy for them.

Start calling your blessings, start thanking for whatever you have regardless of how small they are and you will witness your dreams come true.

Each and every time you feel depressed, or discouraged, stop and count the blessings you have.

My friends, start by simply saying thank you every morning for life.

And keep giving thanks for the little things as you go about your day.

Even if its the smallest thing, take the time to thank God for what you have and watch him overflow his blessings on you.
