Counting My Blessings And Still Going Strong..

This is what I do, when I am down in the dumps or struggling to be joyful. I count my blessings and actually name them one by one! And I am so amazed at the immensity of things I get to be thankful for! What a blessing indeed!

When it comes to being thankful, let’s keep in mind unto whom we are thankful. It’s not to chance or mere luck that I have received blessing upon blessing. It is to God alone I owe my thanks!

He is the Author and Sustainer of all life! He holds my life and knows the end from the beginning. Unto Him alone, I give thanks!

Yes, I will be thankful for all the people who come my way. But, again it is to God I ultimately give my thanks, as it is by His will that people become a blessing to me.

So, where do I begin?

   

I will sing Psalm 103 1:-5

"Bless the LORD, O my soul,
   and all that is within me,
   bless his holy name!
  

Bless the LORD, O my soul,
   and forget not all his benefits,
 who forgives all your iniquity,
   who heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit,
   who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

who satisfies you with good
   so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Blessings!

Writing a new post means stretching a bit, scratching your head and thinking of short anecdotes to put in! I guess, I have become rusty to frankly admit. One of the reasons for my non-regularity is my no-access to the Internet.

Now that I do have some access, I am at loss of words as I stare at the computer! Life so far has been very very good! I got ample amount of time to read, relax and think through a lot of issues. Sometimes, it is good to step back once in a while and see where God has brought you. To simply put, to count your blessings!!

And surely, it has surprised me to see what God has DONE!! :)

Missed joys of blogging!

It's been a while, since I have posted something on this blog! I think, I am very guilty of giving my blog, step-sisterly treatment! Somewhere down the line, life gets you down and the things that matter, don't matter anymore. What do you think? Do you feel the same way? Or am I the only one who is GUILTY? :(

Blogging was something that I would do, without skipping a heartbeat. I had something to say on any topic kept before me. I must confess, I have become very rusty! Sad!! There is no excuse for laziness and the only solution is "DILIGENCE". I need to commit to write about something...even two lines should suffice!! And the topics need not be grandiose, but simple...about the things that really matter!! Here goes.....

"I miss the quiet lanes of yesterday,
as I am lost in the chaos of today
but as I look forward to the promise of tomorrow,
I am gently reminded of blessedness of sweet sorrow" VOILA!!!! :D

Blessings..

My weekend was good as it was not too hectic. Got some time to relax and spend time with my friends. I am very grateful to God for the kind of friends I have at this phase of my life. Few but precious- really a gift from God.

The start of the week was not too bad either, which is a surprise. I guess my attitude's beginning to change as I realise it's a sheer blessing to work, so why grumble. My day's almost done and I will wrap within few minutes to leave. Contentment is a gift where you learn to be satisfied with what you have and not complain like the Israelites. Hahaha....That's all for today...Hope to write few posts in the coming days...Chow!!
