Blessings to all There are a couple of reasons why we should count our blessings. And those are, to be grateful of what we have and to be more appreciative of our lives. Then, we can count our blessings by naming them, accentuating the positive things or events, writing them down, passing the word, and by being a blessing to others.
Most of the time, we don’t see or realize the bountiful blessings we have until something tragic happens to us. Blessings are actually not something good we ask from God, but things that God has given us. And we could even be a blessing to others, too. There are some people with afflictions that are so serious that it might disable them for the rest of their lives or even kill them. There are also men and women who lost their jobs, or their homes, or someone they love, like a spouse or their family. There are also people around the world whose homes have been washed out, who are dying of hunger, or who are living in fear. When we see and hear of news such as these, it would, normally, put us down. But then, it would also make us realize and appreciate our lives and how very much fortunate we are. Problems such as getting stuck in traffic, inability to get a raise in salary, our car breaking down, among others are personal problems. And they all just automatically become smaller after we learn of other people’s so much bigger dilemmas. Sometimes, counting our blessings is so much easier if we compare our situations to that of other people’s misfortunes and heartaches. Doing this, removes a lot of stress out of our lives, and somehow, even makes us appreciate our lives some more.
How Do We Count Our Blessings
There are many ways to remind ourselves of how truly blessed we are. One is by naming our blessings. Most of the time, we are aware of the blessings we have, but we just do not take the time to recognize them. We should find time for that and say them out loud. Another is by accentuating the positive. Instead of thinking of the bad things, concentrate on the good things that has happened to us. There’s also writing it down. Keep a journal and list down at least five blessings you receive each day. Passing the word is also another way to count our blessings. Inform those people whom you consider to be blessings in your life that they are. Tell your kids, your parents, your siblings or friends how important they are to you and the reasons why they are. And finally, you can also count your blessing by being a blessing yourself to others. Try to do nice things for other people today. It does not necessarily have to be big, for when you do that, you will discover how much it will be appreciated............. Great question. thanks for asking. Peace.

Neither blessings nor problems . If we just keep count of our own doings, that would go a long way in changing the face of humanity.

I think, there is no need to count anything,
because it will help to live in the present,
which is the real base not only for enjoying blessings,
but also for solving problems.
