Count Your Blessings!

There is a children's book that has pictures of a day in the life of a child who has several things happen to him. When things occur that are not what he wanted, he would look sad and the words, "That's Bad!", would be on the page. Then on the next page, things would turn around and be even better and the words, "NO, That's Good!", would be next to the picture of the smiling child.

I am that child.

When things happen to me or a loved one, that I feel shouldn't be in the plan, I want to yell, "THAT'S BAD!" As I open my eyes and look past the problems and at the whole picture, I realize, "No... that's good!"

None of us will go through life without difficulties, heart aches, and challenges. If we do, we're not really living!

I promise to count my blessings every day!
