Sunday Blogvotional: See Your Blessings

Do you feel blessed?  It’s easy to get caught up in the trap of feeling like life is handing you a raw deal.  But we need to be careful not to let our vision cloud out the truth.  The truth is that blessings are a constant.  They always exist around us, through us, and in us.  What changes is our perspective of them.  There’s the familiar saying that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.  What you may see as an “unblessed” life someone else may see as a very “blessed” life.  The blessings are there - we just have to open our eyes and look.

"But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.”

 Matthew 13:16

Encouragement of the week: Take a moment – open your eyes and see how God has blessed you.  Challenge yourself to come up with at least 7 today! Then try to do that each day this week.  Then try it for a total of 21 days.  They say it takes 21 days to form a habit.  Is there any better habit to have than thankfulness?

This is Thanksgiving week and the perfect time to jump-start our thankful attitudes. Join me as I challenge myself with creating a new, gratitude filled life for the next 21 days.
