HOW MANYS BLESSINGS DO YOU HAVE?

Do you ever hear the saying-count your blessings? So what does it mean and how many blessings can you count? Our grandchildren can be a blessing except when they are fighting! A life! Family-but some members are not a blessing! It is an easy thing to say but some days even with blessings we can be sad or mad or disappointed as well as knowing we are blessed. It is okay to feel sorry for ourselves sometimes-it helps to motivate us to get going on something meaningful! Appreciating our situation when it is good, is a blessing! Getting through a bad time can be a blessing! Understanding that what may be a blessing to one person may not have the same meaning to another! Happy people who enjoy small blessings may be very annoying to those who want and expect more from life! So beware of those wanting to pop your "blessing balloons"! Actually trying to count your blessings in a bad time, gives hope for a better day! Like someone at a funeral-he was 95, why did he have to die so young or how blessed we were to have him until 95! Frankly, I prefer to be around people who act as if they are blessed rather than owed! What about you? Do you feel blessed? Do you have days you need to remind yourself about your blessings in life?
