We trudge along in life often forgetting to stop and really smell the roses. Or today the turkey cooking in the oven.
So many things in life are just taken for granted. To have a home, wheels, food on the table, heat, water, family friends are some of life's true blessings.
What is a blessing? The dictionary says- the act of declaring, seeking, or bestowing favour. God or your mother or the clergy or anyone may give you their blessing. Sometimes just a thing one is glad of is another section of the dictionary.
It actually does not really get to the feeling level of your blessing does it?
So how many blessings do you have? Do you need many or is one enough?
My blessing is being able to host the Thanksgiving feast with some help from the family with appetizers and desserts. Having all my loved ones present is just icing on the cake or because it is Thanksgiving- the whipped cream on the pumpkin pie.
Being thankful is a humbling way to be. It means to acknowledge that one is not necessarily deserving of all the good things but grateful to have them.
What are your blessings in your life?
