Counting Blessings


Far too often our awareness of the blessings that surround us is dimmed by the difficult circumstances we face. Our focus zooms in on all that is going wrong, eclipsing our view of all that is going right. In spite of hardships, God is always at work. Let’s step back and open our eyes to the abundant blessings God has put in our lives. Let’s be present in this very moment, and take notice and count all the blessings He’s poured and continues to pour out. Let’s ask Him to reveal them to us so that we can give Him thanks. In the process of recounting and praising our Lord, our spirits get lifted and our hearts get filled. Thanksgiving is an official day for thanks, but for our own benefit and to the glory of God, gratitude is meant to be a part of every day. Happy Thanksgiving all year long!

 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
