Count our blessings

Written by Hannah Tan

I came across this clip recently and thought I’d share it with you. Reality can be rather harsh, so let’s take the opportunity to thank God for what we have today, even if we think it may not be enough. *smile*

If you ever feel that God has deserted you or that your life cannot be any worse, think again, because somewhere out there, there are always people worse off than you are. So let’s count our blessings and take this opportunity to thank God for at least 5 things which we’re truly grateful for. I didn’t have to think much for my list of 5… *smile*

Thank you God for:

1) The wonderful, supportive, encouraging, faithful and thoughtful family I have both online and at home who stick up for me when the world has its back on me, who believe in me even when the odds are against me

2) A great team of driven and focused individuals who share the same vision and goals, willing to sacrifice time and leisure in the name of dedication and commitment to a task at hand

3) The close friends who choose to stick around even in the worst of times, who initiate help when they know I’m in need

4) The luxury of having accessibility to food for when I’m hungry, water when I’m thirsty and the additional treats/snacks for the in-betweens…thank God also for creating chocolate! Haha.

5) A country free from natural disasters, extreme poverty and war

Have a great week ahead everyone! *smile*

Hey Esquire, yes I tried fasting, very challenging indeed. Haha. But good for the body, you’re right. *smile* I’m looking forward to the weekend! Yay! Hehe. I just put up a post on that. Haha. And thanks for sharing your encouraging words with us. *smile*

Samuel, amen to that. *smile*

Adli, yes indeed. And our usual ta-pao food is very boring la, usually chicken rice on the go only…haha.

Time to move to the latest post! Hehe

Hey you

how you've been? hope all is well on your good end. or have you been fasting as well? should give it a try, makes you appreciate life so much more in many2 ways (can also relate to your post vid clip). detoxicating the system too.

take care ht.

Deuteronomy 12:7

There, in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice in everything you have put your hand to, because the LORD your God has blessed you.

Ohhhh Hannah

I fully agree with you on all the list. We are totally blessed with our surroundings, no worries on anything unnecessarily. accept now for the Flu. its mutating into another form. Let us all pray hard, for it wont affect us and come knocking our door.

Nothing will ever be enough for sure, for as long as we live. another day, another new adventure. just have to keep going, no matter the obstacles.

Whatever you do, Just be Happy.

Who Dares Wins.
