When we begin to count our blessings, we don’t have time to complain. It’s hard to do both at the same time. Everyday God blesses us with something. He blesses us with life, health, strength, family, jobs, love, compassion, grace, forgiveness, etc… I could go on and on. Stop looking at your neighbors blessings and thank God for the blessings he’s bestowed upon you. When we look at other people blessings that’s when we start to complain and compare. We start to tell God how he failed when it came to blessing us. We start to tell God how ungrateful we really are, and right after we show our ungratefulness; we turn right around and ask God for something else. In counting our blessings, we show our gratitude to God and our respect for God. Lastly, when we count our blessings, we find out that we are more blessed than we thought.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
