It amazes me what the human spirit can get through. What we are able to overcome and grow from. Whatever is thrown our way, we are able to bounce back from.
That’s because we are blessed by God. God made us in His image. Some of us have been going through hard times. And it seems like the hard times have lasted forever.
But God has also blessed us. It may be harder for some to see their blessings right now, but if you stop, be still for a moment and look around you, you’ll see blessings everywhere.
He wakes us up every day. And we wake up in a home. We have food to eat. We have water to drink, clothes to wear and the love of family and friends.
We just have to remember: No matter how stressed you are, remember how blessed you are. The more grateful you are, the more blessings you will have.
Happiness is not about getting what you want all the time. It’s about loving what you have and being grateful for it.
Be thankful for the people God has placed in your life. Each and every one is there for a reason. God doesn’t make mistakes with the people He gives you.
If you have a job, you’re blessed. If you are able to help provide for your family, you are blessed.
If you have the ability to help others, you’re blessed. You have something that someone out there needs. Share your blessings with others.
So, we can look at all the stressful situations around us and allow the stress to define us, or we can choose to feel blessed. I, for one, am choosing to feel blessed. And I am so thankful for my blessings.
Sending you blessings of love, gratitude and prayer from Sterrett, Alabama!
