Sometimes we areso busy adding up
our troubles that
we forget to count
our blessings.
Choose to love ... rather than hate.
Choose to laugh ... rather than cry.
Choose to create ... rather than destroy.
Choose to persevere ... rather than quit.
Choose to praise ... rather than gossip.
Choose to heal ... rather than wound.
Choose to give ... rather than steal.
Choose to act ... rather than procrastinate.
Choose to grow ... rather than rot.
Choose to pray ... rather than curse.
Choose to live ... rather than die
Each new day is a gift from God, and therefore it should be counted as a blessing.
GOOD MORNING !
God usually gives us more blessings than we can keep to ourselves so that we have to share in our abundance.
God not only gives people money, food, clothing, shelter, and other things that are necessary for life, but he also gives people talents that they can use to help others and themselves.
Abundance is what you have when the blessings that God gives to you are overflowing so much that you have to share them with someone, because you don't have the means for keeping it all to yourself
There are people in the world though, that do not have enough. I think this is not because the Lord is unjust and likes to see people suffer. It is because the Lord is waiting to see whether or not the people whom he has blessed with abundance are going to share their wealth with them. It really is more blessed to give than to receive.
I love talking about blessings and abundance because it lets me realize just how wonderful my life is. I hope it does the same for you
Together we can count our wealth. Make a list and then study it. Count them again. Tally your assets! Our blessings overflow and sometimes we are unmindful of them, like a child spoiled in luxury. God has bestowed them with generosity and regularity
Count them one by one!
There are so many things we take for granted. Often we dwell on the woes of the day instead of remembering all the blessings.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Never start counting your troubles until you've counted at least a hundred of your blessings. By that time, you probably won't think you have troubles!

Original Blessings
by Robin C. Burns
May soft gentle breezes brush o'er your face,
For each loving touch is God's warm embrace.
May you have enough for all that you need,
And never be hurt by another one's greed.
The Lord keep you safe from terrible things,
And at the end of this life, lift you up on His wings
‘On Ya’ - ma

Beautiful entry! It makes one stop & think about all their blessings that God has bestowed on them. I am truly blessed! I'll be working all weekend....so you have a wonderful weekend at the camper :0)
Wonderful thoughts. I need to count my blessings more. Thanks for the gentle reminder. Hugs
Thank you for reminding me how blessed I really am. It's so easy to take for granted how much we truly have and it never hurts to be reminded of others less fortunate. God has been very good to me and I need to remember the ones who aren't so blessed.
loving entry...thx for sharing
xoxox

I agree with you, Ma, there will always be those that don't have enough, we'll call them the poor, the Lord even said that in the Bible. I think the poor will always be here, just as you said, to see how people treat them and what people do for them.
I loved the list at the top of your entry; I think I would rather praise someone than put them down; all that is good advice
