But now...well, I have to resume writing. I can't dare to rest without sharing how God is great and awesome to my life this day. Everyday, there's no enough room to store all the blessings He has given. Even the ability to wake up is already a blessing.
There's no reason to be ungrateful each day. There are lots of things to thank for if we'll just assess our day. Yes, there might be disappointments at work, with people, or even with ourselves but it doesn't eradicate the fact that we are still blessed. "Count the blessing, not what's missing" is a common adage. Why don't we apply it?
To be grateful is a choice. To count the blessings each day is a choice too! It will always be up to you on how you handle yourself each day.
Why am I saying all of these? It's because...this is one of the many things that God wanted me to realize. Few months ago, I was very concerned of the things I really need. I think at some point, each of us can relate. What happened was, I became ungrateful and unaware of the blessings each day. I became so focused of getting what I need. I prayed harder and harder and harder. And I became impatient as I wait on God. To me, everyday was just like yesterday--just a common day.
I didn't know that God was working on me. How would I know anyway? What I only knew was I always include in my prayers that God would change me. That God would mold me...would make me become the woman that He wanted me to be. And mind you, you wouldn't know that God has already began His doing until you realize you become somebody you were not before!
Amazing right? God is full of surprises! Even today. I am amazed on how He provides. I feel so blessed as I notice the blessings I am receiving. To mention two of the many blessings I receive today, are food and fare. Food...God knows how good my appetite is. That I am fond of eating. I received a free Sugared Fried Banana, two Hamburgers, and two Teas. (By the way, I did not ate them all. I can't eat them all so I shared them to few people) And when I went home, (I ride twice to reach home) an office mate and a neighbor paid for my fare. (I did not ask them to. If you would ask.)
Well, those might be "simple blessings" if you'd say. But those are blessings. I choose to be grateful each day despite all the hassle and struggle at work. I choose to be happy, I choose to smile...'cause it lightens the heart. It also attracts people. I believe that a smile is contagious.
We cannot change the world...but we can change ourselves. And changing ourselves can be perfectly done by our Dear Lord.
Have a great day ahead!
