Blessings

Here are some interesting quotes and/or thoughts I found about blessings.

A newspaper subscriber commented: Since reading that report, I've made a conscious effort to recall my blessings nearly every hour. Instead of dreading the drudgery of cleaning house, I express gratitude for my home. I've found so many things to be grateful for, little things like running water and electricity. A few weeks ago, I complained because my knees ached; now I say how grateful I am that I can walk. I think it's important to express our gratitude out loud. The positive focus on gratitude has pushed out of my mind the negative thoughts that were dragging me down. Unknown

We once visited in a beautiful home just at sundown. We looked out of the large window and remarked what a magnificent view they had with the setting sun. "Oh," said our host, "why, that happens so often we don't even see it any more." I wonder how many of us are like my friend is with his view of the sunset. We have so many blessings that we never take time to look at them or count them. Unknown

How many times do we miss our blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Unknown
