Question for you: Are you aware of all the blessings that you have each day?
We hear it all the time…..count your blessings! But really….are you aware of them?
If you are like me, there are days we miss them. Some days we are tired. Other days we are distracted. Sometimes we are inconvenienced. Other times we are discouraged.
The result of not realizing our blessings is that we go through our days with our heads down and with our minds swirling with negativity.
But there is a simple solution. When you find yourself being pulled down, look up!
Look up at the beauty that surrounds you! Look up at the gifts found in people all around you! Look up to the one who created you! Look up with wonder! Look up!
And then count! Count all the blessings! The small ones and the big ones! The trivial and the mundane. The simple and the complex. The unexpected and the inconveniences.
Because in all of these things, there are blessings to be found. And when you realize your blessings, JUMP for JOY!
Today, my friends, even if you can’t get off the ground, JUMP for JOY in your heart! JUMP for JOY in your smile! And, if you CAN get off the ground, take a running start, look up in wonder, and JUMP FOR JOY!
