Blessings

I have beeen thinking a whole lot lately about the different ways that God sends us his blessings. Also, about how so many people can be having a wonderful day and then they let one little thing ruin it for them. It's kind of frustrating.We go through our lives day to day not paying attention to important things in our lives. We seem to be forgetting to share the kindness and love we recieve from those close to us with the rest of the world. That is why from here on out I plan to work twice as hard to share the blessings God has given to me with everyone else. Even if it's just a smile from a friend to cheer me up when I do have bad days. We walk our lives day to day and forget to enjoy the day we have for God made no promise for tomorrow, and no one knows when the end will come. I had a nice day today getting a bit of spring cleaning done and just trying to get along with my two older sisters and have a peaceful day. Thus when I head to church tonight I will make sure to share the happiness I felt today with everyone at the church. Because when we choose to not let little things ruin us it can not only help to improve our mood and attitude but it can help us with our bad spots in our personalities. For example yesterday a girl I met in a virtual game that I had not spoken to in a while decided to start sending me PM (public messages) about how i was a b****, but the fact is I calmly sent her a message in return that she could say all she wanted about me and call me whatever she wished because she did not know me for me, that I was a geek, so no matter what she said I did not care because I knew I had a blessed life and no woman who I have never met before can tell me i'm this or that when she has never truly known me and I told her to have wonderful and blessed life for she could not ruin mine. In truth this was a small blessing to myself because I know I have anger issues. Heck I took anger manigment in middle school to try to help me, but that didn't even work, but with God clearly in my life I now have a bit better manegment on my anger and for that I thank God. If it hadn't been for God my life would be in the gutter and I wouldn't know my true purpose in life. I know this world is filled with many many many atheists and the fact is I am not trying to push anyone to follow God's word but if this touches someones curiosity I believe that would be a blessing. All I wish to do is to remind everyone to recognize the small blessings in our life. As my pastor says we let the little things get us down like having a flat tire or stubbing our toes, but we should be thankful for the car we have that has the flat tire or for the fact that we aren't some of those who have lost their feet. It seems that we forget to look at our fellow men and women and lend them a hand when we see them in need. I'm not asking anyone to go out and save a starving country, but why not help an elderly man or woman carry groceries, or donate a few cans of food now or then to someone who needs them, why not donate your old clothes to those who have none or few. We can all be a blessing to someone and it doesn't have to be big. Heck it can be lending an ear or a shoulder to cry on to a friend in need. It could be telling someone to stop teasing a person. I've been in dark places before and a blessing was that my friends and family helped to guid me out. Maybe now it's time for our generation to fix ourselves and the world we live in. We don't know how long we have here so while we're around be a blessing. Even if it's once a day, once a week, or once a month. Just let's all try to be a blessing.
