I was trying to think of a topic to write about today and even though I have a list of topics this one kept popping in my head. As with most of my blogs I am not sure where this one will lead me, but I am sure as I start to write something will come. Maybe that is a blessing as well. Maybe this will reach someone who needs it and it will be a blessing for them. So here it is.
Every day I think about the many things that have occured in my life. Some of those things are good and some of them have been bad. I try not to focus on the bad things and when I do I try to find the answer as to why they happened. It is my belief that everything happens for a reason and that good can come from anything when you look hard enough.
Maybe I should start with what my definition of a blessing is. A blessing is something good that happens. This can be something smll or something that is very large. It can come in the form of a miracle or a simple thing as a person smiling at you when you have had a hard day. You see I believe we are surrounded by blessings every day.
Some of the blessings I have seen are these. The smile of a mother when she looks at her child. The day a child is born. When a father who was scared and uncertain of being a father holds his child for the first time. A childs first smile. The first laugh of a child. Every day a parent spends with their child while they are growing up. Time spent between a Grandparent and their Grandchild. A hug when someone is crying. Hearing that someone is a cancer survivor after they were told they wouldn't survive. The faith of a child in everything from Santa to the Tooth Fairy. Even their faith in their parents and God. A person who speaks to the new person in a group before anyone else does. When someone sees another person and goes out of their way to make them smile just because they can. A flower in bloom. The gift of flowers. Love. Happiness. Joy. Being rescued when you are lost or injured. Friends. Family. Sunsets. Sunrises. The moon and stars. The ocean. Rain. All of these and so much more are blessings in their own ways.
When was the last time you stopped to think of the different blessings in your life? What do you think of as blessings?
