Many times we pray for more in our
lives. When we are experiencing hard and difficult times we pray for
more of what we would like in our lives. I often find myself asking
for peace and quiet when there is too much going on in my life, or
strength when i'm faced with difficult people, situations and events.
We are only human and it is only natural to feel the need to ask for
more to sustain and help us when we need it.
But how many times do we stop and
actually take account of all the abundance that is already there,
overflowing silently around us, filling our very souls with bounties
and blessings that we are unaware of? We can all get caught up in
life and forget to give thanks for all the blessings that we have.
What do we count as blessings?
I give thanks for many things, things
you may not even think of as blessings – the roof over my head, the
food for my meals, the warmth of my home, the life I wake to each
day, but I also give thanks for the love of my family, for a peaceful
family live and a peaceful home, for good neighbours, for a safe
community, etc.
Make a short mental list of all the
blessings and abundances in your life.
