blessings

have you ever sat down and really thought about how blessed you are?

Just sit and think about how truly blessed you are, and all the situations that you have been in where your life could have been lost or something bad could have happened but you were protected and covered. How when things were going wrong and you wanted to give up how things turned around or how someone can enter your life even if only for a season and can completely change your whole being and your way of life. These things are very much blessings.

Sometimes we forget the little things are blessings like seeing and being able to laugh and walk and sing a song and having a pillow or socks or a toothbrush. These are all blessings.

At times we let the big things going on in life distract us and bring us down but we fail to remember hey so what life goes on and I'm blessed that I'm alive and can have things to worry about.

I keep thinking how I am sooo blessed to have my life. Yesterday I did settlement for an accident I was in March and the insurance agent asked me how much do you feel your pain and suffering is worth? I had never placed a number on it or even thought about it because I was blessed to be alive. I was MediVaced from one county to another because I had a serious head trauma, I had to be sawed out of a car, cut out of my clothes, and had tubes pumping medicine in me so to me my reward was life. But what I received yesterday was nothing more than a blessing.

In the beginning of the school year I went to church and a man was ministering on financial blessings and said if you want to be blessed claim it. So I did I told God I wanted $15,000 and so far in just the past month I have been blessed with a huge portion of that... that's nothing but a blessing.

There are truly so many things to be thankful for and ways that you have been and are being blessed. Make sure you are thankful for those blessings and honor those who are passing the blessings to you.
