Everything and Everyday Is A Blessing

Are you familiar with this passage from Neale Donald Walsh quote about blessings?

…It sometimes looks like “one thing after the other,” but really, it is Blessing After Blessing.

I know, I know…you don’t experience it that way. But that’s because you don’t see it that way. In this business of life, “What you see is what you get.”

If you think you are looking at struggle, struggle is what you will experience. If you decide that you are looking at a gift (even if you can’t see it clearing in this exact moment), a gift is what you will get. Just wait. You’ll see. I mean that literally. You will see.

Today’s affirmation is an acknowledgement that each day you are surrounded by blessings. You just need to be on the lookout for them:

Blessings surround me every day.

Every moment of every day, I see endless blessings around me. I consider everything associated with life to be something special.

I take the time to learn from each experience and feel fortunate to be able to learn life lessons along the way.

Taking in the cold crisp air at sunrise brings me so much happiness. I feel my lungs expand. That reminds me that I am blessed to be alive. I am blessed to have good health and the chance to feel nature.

I am conscious that everything I am able to do is because I am truly blessed.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.            Do I encourage my friends and family to give thanks for all the blessings in their lives?

2.            Do I make it a point to share my blessings with loved ones?

3.            Am I able to be a blessing to others, especially those in need?

Today, I avoid taking things for granted.

Even the simple things are truly appreciated because I know others may not have access to them. I avoid complaining about the have-nots and celebrate everything I have. Each day, I look forward to the chance to give thanks!
