Count your blessings

Everyone will think that it’s a very conventional topic. But for me it’s just like a milestone which gave me a reason to look forward to each and everyday of  my life. We are so grateful to be surrounded by such people who ignores all our cantankerous behavior and fulfills all our demands and yet not realizing that there exists those too who are struggling to find their source of happiness in petty things. Even after having everything, we feel discouraged upon life’s billows. 

We should stop right there and take out sometime to appreciate those resplendent and divine blessings that god hath done. One should be happy to have good useful hands to carry things, to write words. To hold the close ones tightly. To have legs to walk, mouth to talk, eyes to explore and breath to keep oneself alive. We should embrace the word Blessing now in every sense of it. Our decisions have consequences just beyond us.

At times, when we get to hear about broken marriages, relationships or friendships because of the actions or words used by others. We don’t realise that there still sit those innocent children in the cross fire of them who end up being their escape goats. Perhaps, we should learn to use our failures for our glory. The forgiveness comes from the humbling of one’s self to admit their sins.

I never really understood when in school teachers told us to “Count our blessings”,  we ended up laughing upon it and considering it to be just an unpretentious statement. But today when we understood the true sense of it, I can say that i embrace them all. Be it “the storm, the destructions, the nature, the good or bad times”, embrace them and be grateful for it. But also remember that our spoonful efforts of contribution to other people’s blessing will mean the world to them. Knowingly or unknowingly, whatever we do comes back to us in diverse forms. Every minute, every hour, every day is a blessing.

                   “Cherish them because they have been sent to us for today”.
