To count one’s blessings is to look at the positive side of our life. No one can say categorically that they have no issues to deal with. We all have challenges to face. How they are faced can make or mar our like, make us happy or distressed leading to depression. It is imperative that we learn the art of living.
I have avid interest in homeopathy. I read the Material Medica as would one read the Bible. It is a 700 plus page and when I read through the ailments that have a cure there, I wonder how blessed most of us are that we donot have any of those ailments.
Looking around we get to see so many bed ridden, paralysed, maimed, terminally ill, blind, mute …the list is endless.
Those things like have a normal appetite, proper bowel and bladder movement, good sleep, a roof above our head, clothes to wear, friends, family – all these we normally take for granted and never think they are the blessings that we need to count every single day of our life. That is called being in the attitude of gratitude always.
We all have dreams and some just go after their dreams and are a frustrated lot if their dreams do not get fructified. While waiting for our dreams to become real we should not forget those little things that make our day.
Those little happy things that we sometimes need more than 10 fingers to count.
Being able to identify our blessings however small but significant to carry on is what is called living art of living.
When we were in school we had to sing the song “Count your blessings” everyday and this in a way inculcated in me the ability to identify my blessings.

I think I can remember the song very well it has been a constant reminder in my heart since I was a little child. It goes like this count your blessings name them one by one count your blessings see what goes has done count your blessings name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done. How inspiring. If there is no one who sang this song when they were little kids you just missed out on one of the greatest teachings of your lifetime, anyway what you have shared is the honet truth. Being a le to thank God for the little things in life is very very important, when you appreciate those little things then God blessed you with even bigger things that you could ever imagine. Most of us are busy chasing out dreams and our successes to the point that we forget to even recognize the blessings that God is throwing our way. So yes we should always count our blessings because there is always a reason behind every blessing even those that we call blessings in disguise.
