Lately I feel I'm on an uphill climb and I can't see the top yet. When I feel I'm overwhelmed I notice that it becomes easier to see the negative things...even if they are little. I reminded myself tonight that in times like these, when I feel like things spin faster and faster and I can't keep up, I have to settle down, and count my blessings. This helps focus me, grounding me to what is happening in the present, and reminds me that God is right there where He promised He'd be...by my side.
So, here are my 5 blessings I count tonight, in no particular order:
- Tomorrow is Friday!
- I reached out to help a long lost acquaintance.
- It's raining tonight and the fall weather has been so comfortable.
- My husband painted for our family.
- I'm not on-call this weekend.
To sum this up I feel it appropriate to quote a song my mom and one of my good friends loved by Garth Brooks:
"Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the Man upstairs
Just because He doesn't answer, doesn't mean He don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers."
Have a blessed weekend!
