Every day... we wake up....eat breakfast, work, come home eat dinner and sleep... but in between all the things that consume our lives, how often do we take time out to look around us, in our lives and count the blessings we have in our life? Personally, I take more time out to complain about everything that is missing from my life and don't really find reason to appreciate what life has presented to me....
Last night when Sibi was working (yes working)...and I was flipping through channels trying to find something that would catch my attention, I stopped on Discovery Health as they were showing a girl who suffered from Treacher Collins and at the age of 3.5 yrs had gone through over 20 surgeries.... and looking at her and her parents, I realized that as I sat there on my bed watching TV, I was blessed and how I had failed to appreciate EACH and every single day that i had been given as a blessing....
How can we be so blinded with all the materialistic worldly possesions that we dont see that we are immensly blessed, given so many things in our lives, our family that we should be spending everyday thanking God for everything that we have and if we were to list each one of them then we might not have time do anything else...
I guess my ranting leads to one thing - every now and then we are faced with situations that make us realize how blessed we are in our life to have everything we do... so lets try and take just moments in our lives to appreciate that .... and maybe use what we have to put a smile on another person's face....
