I've been thinking alot lately about how blessed I am. God loves me so much and every day he shows me something else to be thankful for. In the midst of my thoughts, I began to wonder how many others truly appreciate their blessings or do they just take them for granted? Waking up in the morning, smelling your childs hair, looking at a beautiful sunset, holding a brand new puppy......these are the things that we just take for granted but they are some of God's most precious gifts. If each of us really took the time to look at each blessing and truly appreciate it and realize that is was a gift from God we would probably have a much better outlook on life, we would stop feeling sorry for ourselves and we would be happier.
Proverbs 15:15 says "All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil by anxious thoughts, but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast regardless of the circumstances."
Lets all make the decision to have a glad heart and appreciate our blessings!
