Learning to Count My Blessings

Last night I was lying in bed thinking about the areas in my life that are not easy. Thinking about all the things I don’t have.

Suddenly I heard God say “Count your blessings“

but I was already in the middle of my pity party, the more you think about how bad life is, there are endless possibilities.

“STOP! Count your blessings” I heard again.

“Ok” I sighed.

“I have a great family” I said half-heartily

“Yes now keep going.”

“I have a book published”

Good, your getting there.

I…… live in Australia…

By now I was getting the hang of it and after about 10 more things, I slowly drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face.

Yes! I have so much to be grateful for, tragically I often forget that and complain to God about the things I don’t have.

So from now on I aim to be thankful for the blessings I do have and trust God for the rest.
