Counting our Blessings
It is a good thing - to count our blessings on a regular basis. Clearly, it is not difficult to be grateful when things are going well. It is much easier to see the blessing when we feel peace and joy. Yet, when things are not going well, do we give thanks? Even in the midst of darkness, there is always something for which to give thanks.

Giving thanks in times of despair will actually lighten the load. It also gives us an opportunity to look for the blessing in the middle of the problem. Having a different and positive perspective when we're facing challenges is a way of shifting the issue around so that it becomes an opportunity for creativity and personal growth. more
