Until I come up with my own meme to pass on to my friends, I would have to get busy answering this one first. Hmm, list at least 5 blessings you have received and precede each with few substantial details. Here goes mine…
Out of all the blessings that God has given me, I believe that these are the ones that I am most thankful for.
*Though I often get into unlucky circumstances, I consider myself as lucky to have a family who supports my dreams, helps me get up each time, loves me dearly and continues to breathe for me when I’m running out of air. They became my crutches when I lost a leg.
*I know he doesn’t want me talking about this, but my brother, a kidney transplant patient, has managed to go through his critical year without irreversible complications. Yes,we will continue to spend more and more for his pricey lifetime medications but all of us are certain that we’d all rather be broke than be living without him. I really admire his calm attitude amidst the chaos. He wasn’t like me who always feel the need the curl up into a ball and disappear.
*I am blessed for all the reasons I could find to believe that God ultimately exists. He always tells me where to look when my eyes become tired from searching. He uncovers the truth when He knows I can already take it. He pounce on me, gives me pain and makes me cry because He knows, that I always remember what He taught me: how to be unyeilding.
*I am still staying in my current company. A blessing that only few people would understand. I have come up with a plan. A plan I have carefully thought of and I know it isn’t too late to shift the gear. For one thing, I still need to be here for one of my biggest dreams to come into fruition. No, it’s not something that I owe to the company, it’s something they owe to ME. I think it’s about time to indirectly benefit from them while I’m still here. So you see, everything has its own reasons and it matters. And whatever happens, nature has its way of course correcting things. I will know, in time, what I am presupposed to do.
*Talking to people who really knows you and your life is uplifting - even when you don’t exactly tell them what’s bothering you. You are doubtlesly tired of me praising my friends, but I would never stop thanking God for these people. Broken things do mend itself. I was fixed with the absence of customary corporeal handling.
-the end
Before I start tagging, I thought I’d share you this quote I got this morning. How apt for the topic.
Things you must be thankful for:
-
Worries at the start of the day. It means you’re still alive
-
Headache at the end of the day. It means you can still work hard.
-
Clothes that don’t fit.It means you have a good appetite. (Yes!)
-
The mess to clean after a party. It means you have friends around you.
-
Roof that needs fixing. It means you’ve got a house/some place to live in.
-
Taxes to pay. It means you’re not unemployed.
-
Heartaches. It means you love selflessly.
-
Too many text messages. It means you are remembered much.
Ei, what’s the benefit you’re getting from the company? share!
Thanks for answering this! God is good diba?

Blessings come to us in all different ways. We may receive a blessing that doesn’t appear a blessing to us at the time. Most people wouldn’t take what happened to me today as a blessing. But, knowing what could have happened, and seeing what did happen, I consider it a blessing.
