We so often complain. About the weather, about the Health Service (people seem to complain ALOT about that these days), about the traffic on the way home from work, about not having a job, and so it continues. However, here we are so blessed. Some people would give anything to have rain like we have to make their crops grow or to have a free Health Service. Recently on so many blogs I read and in other places too people have been counting their blessings. It's such a hard thing to do at times, but when we do we realise that we are blessed so much, far far beyond what we deserve.
Today i'm rejoicing in the fact that my husband has a job again, for now anyway, and that our money stretched fine while he didn't. These are very obvious blessings, however when you look below the surface there are so so many other blessings in our lives, like a precious new nephew who we babysat for the first time on Wednesday, for a stable job for me, for new students at the Bible Study we help at and so the list could go on and on...
Just counting your blessing makes you realise what an awsome God we serve!
I've never been a great fan of the following Hymn, I think it's the tune, but the words ring true:
"Count your blessings name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done."
