I am Blessed.

You know, I was thinking about something today. I realized how often I look at things as what I wish I had. I always look at things in a negative way trying to figure out the way Christ is using it to make me stronger. Little do I stop and think about the positive things of how Blessed I truly am. I worry too much about things that are out of my control. I need to start trusting more and leaving it up to Him.

It got me thinking, how Blessed is my life? I'd say, I'm pretty Blessed. Thank God for my life. From now on, I'm going to try and look at the ways I already am Blessed rather than how it could be better.

Ways I am Blessed and so thankful:

I am thankful for my life.

I am thankful for my friends.

I am thankful for being saved.

I am thankful for the house I live in.

I am thankful for the fact money has never been an issue for me.

I am thankful for my family.

I am thankful for the opportunities God has given me.

I am thankful for the ministries Christ has Blessed me with.

I am thankful for knowing He has a Will for my life.

I am thankful for every breath I breathe.

I am thankful for His mercy.

I am thankful for His great love for me.

I am thankful for my relationship with Him.

I am thankful for a life of eternity.

I am thankful for forgiveness.

I am thankful for learning new things.

I am thankful for the clothes I wear.

I am thankful for my dog.

I am thankful for having my own bed [some people don't even have that...like in Blind Side].

I am thankful for my computer and all my nerdy electronics.

I am thankful for pictures.

I am thankful for the talents I have been given.

I am thankful for memories.

I am thankful for the people that have been placed in my life.

I am thankful for the ability to try and help people.

I am thankful for the mistakes I've made in order to help others.

I am thankful for so many things...

I could go on and on, but these are just some things that I have never really thought about. You always think of ways you wish something could happen. But do you ever stop and think about what you already have been given? What already did happen? What bad things have happened and what have come of it? I wanna see all things in a new way. I want to look more at what I already have been given.

It's a scary thought, death. I am most thankful for being alive. Something could happen in a split second that could end your life. How do you know if you will live to see tomorrow? Crazy things can happen.
