Just Counting
Monday, May 28th, 2007
Today, I am counting my blessings. I woke up with my whole family and was able to breathe. I woke up on a bed instead of some street or an alley somewhere. We have a roof that does not leak. We have clothes on our backs. Today, we will have food to cook and eat. We will not go hungry.
Today, I have problems that seem insurmountable, yet I have hope that something good will happen and somehow we will be okay. I will cry because I am broken but God will fix me and make me whole again. My head will swim with worries but God’s mercy will prevail, and I will have peace. I will realize who my real friends are, and know they will stay loyal and true.
Today, I will for a moment, feel insignificant and worthless. But my husband, children, friends and family will tell me “I love you” in their own ways, and I will be reassured. I will go through moments of despair, about what could have been. Then, I will see what I have been truly blessed with, in a much better light.
Today, I will be able to pray and live my faith without fear of persecution. I will not know where we are going to be at tomorrow. But as long as my family and I are together, “where” does not really matter. I will lose my temper on certain things and situations, yet somehow it’ll all work out. I will not have all the answers, but I am equipped to give it my very best try.
Today, I will need God more in my life. Tomorrow, I will have more blessings to count, and I will count on God some more.

just counting is just one of my favorites! it is true that many people failed to count their blessings instead they count their loses, downfalls,hurts,etc.
They or we should not forget that even waking up ok everyday or every morning is one of the many and wonderful blessings we are blessed to received from our God..
i love you for writing this and somehow it helps us reflects.
