I tend, however, to lose sight of my blessings at times because the glaring reality of "...living just enough..." seem to contradict what I know to be true. I AM BLESSED - beyond measure and I'd like to think that I AM a good steward over my blessings.<br /><br />Sometimes I don't feel blessed because I am singularly focused on the half-empty portion of the glass. I allow my faith in who He is to be shaken by circumstances and what I see with my natural eye. It is only when I see a bald woman fighing breast cancer & know she's not me; my hair is well past my shoulders...it is when I see a child with a disability & know that is not my child(ren); in addition to being beautiful, smart, healthy and active, they are also awesome dancers...it is when I see someone going through marital problems & know; although my spouse & I have our own set of issues, we love each other unconditionally and fight to hold this thing called marriage together because that IS what we signed up for. It is at these times that I realize that only by the Grace, Mercy & Favor of the Father - it is not me, so what do I have to complain about? I am blessed!<br /><br />I am a work in progress in the Count Your Blessings Dept. I recognize that having a loving family & circle of friends means that I have a whole gang of blessings to be thankful for! I also realize that "this woman's work" isn't done because there is always room for improvement in appreciating all that I am blessed with and all that I have to be thankful for. Blessed assurance, indeed.
