Count Your Blessings

Have you ever looked back at all the good things in your life?

When obstacles a presented before you, never let go of the memories of all the gifts you have been given. Not just the material gifts, but the times when you woke up to the sun shinning on your face, or the times when your day wasn't going as planned, but someone at the coffee shop gave you a genuine friendly smile. Think about the times when you could have gotten in to an accident on the freeway, but somehow your car diverted in a different direction.Think about the times when you were at the wrong place at the wrong time, when you ignored the Holy Spirit nudging to go in a different direction by making you feel uneasy in the pit of your stomach, yet you came out safely.

Don't let the enemy, Satan, steal your memories or block your blessings. Please don't think that everyone is allotted a certain number of blessings in their lifetime. God intended for you to have life and that more abundantly! When we are in the midst of the pain or frustration it is hard for us to remind ourselves of all the good things, but that is something that we have to work on! If we let the negativity eat at us in the moment, it hinders our blessings from flowing and prolongs the trial. 

I have seen too many people receive blessings and then be hit with a trial and they immediately let the enemy win by not returning to church or revert back to old habits or old friends that were not worth the company....

Count them....I bet they out weigh all the junk that we go through in life...It's already a blessing to be alive!

Enjoy life and live it to the fullest, get connected to a church, fellowship with other Christians and remember that there is so much more that God wants to give you!
