Blessings!!!

What comes to your mind when u think of the term 'Blessing' ? 

How have you been blessed? 

Do you take time to count your blessings?

Do you think your blessings are worth counting?

Well! To me, my blessings are each moment of my life. I believe in blessings and also in blessings in disguise. I have been blessed in many ways and many a times my blessings were  disguised as challenges. I haven't always lived a very comfortable life (and i am pretty sure most of us haven't) but those moments of my life that made me most uncomfortable are the moments I look back with gratefulness. Had it not been for the difficulties in my life, I would have never been where i am today. I definitely do not have a perfect life today but I sure am blessed. I have no desire to live a so called 'perfect life' because the imperfections are what makes me keep going. The challenges/difficulties/imperfections of life are what makes me wanna live a better life each day. 

I am always thinking about my blessings in life and at times it makes me wonder how did i deserve to be blessed so much. 

When I say I am blessed, I do not mean I have no reason to complain or that life does not frustrate me but when such things happen I do bounce back and see the brighter picture of life. I do face the challenges and tests of life every now and then (who does not?), when I face those I remind myself of all the blessings in my life and that is what helps me get back on track. 

These days we have to be careful because we have become very sensitive and we easily get offended but if only we take time to remind ourselves of all the blessings in life, we might not have to be so very sensitive. Being aware of our blessings give us the confidence and we tend to be least bothered about what others think or say about us. 

Everyone is blessed but it depends on how every individual look at it. Many a times the blessings are  disguised so I hope we do not fool ourselves and start complaining straight away. We never know those challenges we face may turn out to be the best thing that could have ever happened to us.   

Be blessed always!

Blessing,

Deborah.
