All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. An old song says: “Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.” Think about that for a moment! It’s easy to lose perspective. We all face challenges and difficulties in life. And if we are not on guard, they can divert our attention from all the Lord has done for us. Yes, you may face obstacles, we may not have everything we would like, but we all have something to be thankful for. That I am sure of. Your attitude is determined by your focus. When you focus on the negative, you turn negative, making your life, and those around you, miserable.
It is amazing how different you feel after taking just a few minutes to truly thank God for what you have. sAI can read! I can see! I can smell! I can hear! I can talk! I can think! God loves me! Jesus died for me! I have a home in Heaven! If I count my blessings in Christ, I would bet the world could not contain them. What about you?
