Counting My Blessings This Day

Being thankful begins with being present in today, it means being aware of our surroundings at the moment, not the regret of yesterday or “what if’s” of tomorrow, but the blessing of today. I encourage you to make a list of every blessing you can count for today. Small things, big things, and every blessing in-between. Air in your lungs, legs that walk, eyes that see, strength, hope, good doctors, good friends, the blue sky, the green grass, fresh water to drink, food to eat, family to love, flowers to smell. List “every good and perfect gift” that God has blessed you with. Let these lift your heart with joy, and fill your soul with peace as you reflect on the blessings of  “this day”, a day of Thanksgiving.

Count your blessings, name them one by one! Count your blessings, see what God has done!





This is the day the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.”      
            Psalm 118:24

Taste and see that the LORD is good.” Psalm 34:8
