Do you have blessings to count?

Hello dee777, Very thought provoking discussion! Thank you. This year I aim to discover and count the smallest blessings that God has endowed me with. I shall also pray for MENTAL PEACE alone and try to be an instrument to His will.

I think that we all have blessings we can count. We just have to take time to think about them and remind ourselves of them. We often do the opposite and think of mainly the bad things we experience. I'm happy that I'm alive and that I have my family, even though we have had a hard time financially this year, I'm thankful that we have a roof over our head and food to eat.

A lot of what happened to you happened to me! I lost 4 dear friends one was only 36 years old. We also had a new baby this year. He's now 10 months old.

I could (have blessings to count) if I wanted to. I think the point of the instruction to "count your blessings" is to get you thinking right. The first thing that usually comes to my mind is my brain-injury. You'd think I think of that as a "curse"--and yes, it FELT like one; something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy--but (now that I'm sorta past it) it's a blessing, largely because it keeps me 'out of the rat races.'

It is great to count our Blessings even in hard times. My husband had a bad injury at work, but out of that my kids got their first vacation and we bought our first ever mini van when I have always wanted! My husband has been out of work for a while now and we are struggling but at least we have gotten some quality time together out of it. We don't really live in a nice house or neighborhood but I am grateful we have a roof over our head, not like a few years ago when we were homeless... We do have plenty to be grateful for, plenty of Blessings. Thanks for sharing this so I could feel better about our situation.

if we count the blessing we had, we will always be reminded of how much the blessing God has given to us. That's a good attitude to have since it will make us to be grateful. Even though there are problems and troubles but of course there are blessing too. So always be grateful and thankful to God.

Yes, I do have a lot of blessings to count, and to be thankful for. Just a few more hours and its already 2013... :D Oh well... i guess time does fly so fast i feel as if i am not even used to writing 2012 and its now already going to be 2013. i have the following to be thankful for: My life, in general - it has been happier, i have had so much heartaches early part of this year but it all was overcome by friendships, by good company, and new love. I have my steady and basically new job to be thankful for ( God gave me a wonderful blessing to have allowed me to be a regular employee where i was working for) i have a new love life that i am thankful for, and i am hoping for God to bless our relationships more and help us love each other. I have my family to be thankful for, that we are still together, and our family is growing. I have my blessings God given, career, additional income, unexpected money... I am thankful that God blessed me this time that I needed the money more. I thank God for my health and for the people I love's health too. I thank God for the material things he has blessed me as well. my phones, my laptop, my new exercise equipment, my computer, my shoes, the clothes i have, i am thankful for all of these.

I'm blessed to still be alive after losing 4 very dear friends in 2012 all my age or younger...it makes me think! I'm also blessed with an awesome grandson born this year to my son. It's his first child and he's very special to me.

There are so many blessings happen to you. Your situation has bad and good. Bad situations came to you, but still, there is still good that would happen to you. Its like a wheel. Some will go up and some will go down so that, there will be balance.

for sure it all depends on the count of people which we have and how good they are to us anytime

Hi dee! Year 2012 is the most challenging year for me. But overcoming these challenges was such a blessing for me. I also consider this year as the greatest year because of a lot of beautiful things that happened both in my offline and online career. The blessings are overflowing and I am really thankful for all of these. Happy New Year!

I have many, I have good health now not like a few months back. And my son is very good and in school in the usa. I am blessed most for those things. Happy new years to you there.

I am very thankful for each and every breathe that I take, I count all blessings that flow for family, friends and the world and I know The New Year will be better than the old. Happy New Year to you!

Waking up each day to a a glorious morning is a blessing in itself, what more can you ask.
