"Count Your Blessings"

     It does become difficult to bless some people who never seem to be able to take the time to just say: thank you, Lord, for that which you have blessed me. It is not so much the fact that I want people to say thank You for blessing me to boost My ego, but rather for them to think about and realize just how much they have been blessed. You see, so many people tend to become grumblers and complainers over the least of things that the blessings that I have given them easily end up being forgotten. So many people easily live day to day without saying as much as thank you, Heavenly Father, for the roof over my head and for blessing me with another day. Many tend to find it difficult to give thanks for the food they have to eat, while there are many who have none. There are also those who cannot seem to give thanks for clean water to drink, when many people cannot find any. Some people cannot say thank you, Lord, for the clothes on my back and the shoes on my feet. Most people tend to always want to view blessings as being monetary, not realizing or understanding that many people might have very little in dollars, yet they are as happy as can be and are as full of joy, even with the little that they have.
     Therefore, My children, if indeed you are a child of Mine in CHRIST, learn to be thankful first of all that you are in CHRIST JESUS, and that CHRIST is in you through The Holy Spirit. That alone is a blessing for which one can be thankful. After being thankful for that fact, then learn to be thankful for just being alive to even be able to say thank you, Lord. Just open your eyes and ears, and you will come to the realization that a whole lot of people did not even wake up this morning. There were many people who had no roof over their heads, as you did to protect them from the weather. Many people went to bed hungry and woke up hungry, while you had the choice of whether or not you even wanted to eat. Most of you were even blessed enough to wake up with your five senses intact, while there were many who could not say that, yet they were thankful for what they did have. So when you lie down tonight, give thanks for your day, and if you awake tomorrow, give thanks for being woken up, and blessed you will be for so doing, in JESUS'  Most Precious and Holy Name.

AMEN
