Blessings...

A blessing as defined in wikipedia, (also used to refer to bestowing of such) is the infusion of something with holiness, divine will, or one's hopes.

But is that the true meaning of BLESSING?

Ain't watching an early morning news a blessing? You look around and when you see somebody rise up from rags, you say shes/he is truly blessed...while you whine on your miserable life...But while you complain on such plight, arent you blessed that you are still able to breathe the wonder of life even if you are in a very pathetic situation?

I never ask God for any misfortunes that happen to me, I may cry and rue about it, but I dont question why....I have embraced life the way I welcome death..and for every trial that I encounter, I consider it a blessing...why?

Because for every heartache, God has taught me to love in different degrees.
For every sickness, I thank God for giving me reason to take care of my health the more.
For every family bickering, God showed me to be more patient and loving.
For every betrayal from people, God teaches me to be forgiving.
For every financial strains, God taught me to value money.
For every feeling of loneliness, I feel HIS presence...

So I dont count my blessings on every material gain, but I thank HIM for everything.
This is how God wants us to LIVE, to celebrate LIFE and LIVE it....we have different roles to portray, and while others may have an easier one, you are truly blessed if you can nail your difficult part with grace. For God has a reason for everything...
