Blessings Over Obstacles

The good always outweighs the bad.

We all know that there are times when we get let down by someone or a situation ends up not being what we thought it was going to be like. There are even times when we get in to an argument with someone and they say something that hurts us. We could have gotten a job promotion, received more money than we expected or given an opportunity and yet we have allowed someone or something to steal our joy. 

We tend to forget all the blessings we have been given whenever we are “hit” with any problems….

Forget…

That God woke us up this morning!

That we are able to make choices for ourselves if we choose to.

We have a roof over our heads.

We have clothes on our backs.

We have food in our stomachs. 

And sooo much more……………

Whenever we are in a bad mood because something didn’t go the way we planned or somebody hurt our feelings, just remember that there is ALWAYS somebody else in a worse situation at the same time you are being depressed about your own situation. God does not want us to be offended and upset when he has given us so much because He loves us. He can’t continue to bless us when we are busy trying to analyze situations and being consumed in our feelings.

Be blessed…it doesn’t take having a perfect life to know that we are blessed!
