Count Your Blessings, not Your Problems

Good Morning or Good Afternoon or Good Evening, this post should take three minutes to read from start to finish.

Have you ever counted your blessings in life? I used to count my blessings often. After quite some time without counting my blessings, I have worked out that I wouldn't need to worry about counting my blessings for now because I knew that I already have many blessings. 

"Count your blessings NOT your problems."

I would like to share some of my blessings that I am grateful to have in my life. 

My parents has taught me how to speak kind words, how to cook meals, how to clean dishes (washing dishes), how to do laundry, how to budget, and so forth. 

Next month; Evelyn turns two years old. She has made me to become her mother, she loves to show me that she loves me (by hugging me, kissing me on my cheek, and so forth), she seem to enjoy showing me that she wants to help me out with doing laundry (hanging out the clothes on the drying rack), and so forth. 

This September marks four years of being married to Jacob. Jacob has a steady full-time job. I rely on Jacob for being the main provider in the home so we can afford of paying for bills early or on time, we can afford of paying groceries weekly (sometimes multiple times during the week), and so forth.

Jacob and I both have different personalities, we both were born and raised in different countries, we have learned some different life lessons, we have some things in common that we both enjoy doing, we have learned to love each other no matter what, we have learned to forgive each other whenever we make mistakes, and so forth. 

I trust and rely on health care so much. I don't always show it but I really do care about my health because my health is really important to me. I would like to live as long as I can (hopefully until sometime after I retire), making sure that my well-being is overall good, and so forth. 

I'm grateful for education. I like learning new things, I like writing notes during church services such as sacrament meetings, stake conferences, general conferences, and so forth, I like watching documentaries about the past (many years ago) on Netflix and Disney+ and so forth.

I know that sometimes whenever we are caught up and feeling too focused on the worldly things in life; we might find times to be difficult for us to count the blessings that we have received in this life so far, there may have been some things that we may not even consider as blessings in our lives, we may feel frustrated for losing the companion of the Holy Ghost and feeling bad for ignoring the promptings and warnings from the Holy Ghost, and so forth. 

I would like to encourage you to be STRONG! I would like you to be strong whenever you are going through afflictions, difficulties, tribulations, sicknesses, challenges, struggles, trails, pains, and so forth. Some blessings will arrive straight away, some blessings will arrive when we are at the right place at the right time, and some blessings may not come in this life but it would come in the next life.  

Stay Tuned until next time.
