Hello dear people from this community and to everybody who can read my posts.Today, allow me to share and publish my piece of thoughts. I have been encouraged to share my ideas, after reading some articles posted in here.
My title is,"every breath is a blessing",I just made it this afternoon. Since I was a stay at home mom, I've been through a lot of stresses in life everyday,especially when I think that I have no job,no monthly income to help my husband in providing our needs.
We have two kids and their both active in their respective schools.For few weeks, I was kind of devastated inside me, as a mom that I often overthink about tomorrow and future plans, and we're lack of finances.But,it's just amazing, that everytime we need something there's always a provision, and we're grateful that the Lord knows what we really need.
Honestly, before, it came to my mind that I was not blessed by God, because, there's no job opportunity open for me.My mind was focusing on material things which I don't have,and I forgot the untouchable things in life,like life, and everyday,as I breath, and lived, I am blessed.
One day,my daughter came home, and told me that the mother of her friend was brought to the hospital, because she can't breath.Her friend rushed into her mother and my daughter told me with a lonely eyes.Life is more valuable than everything.Our family, and everyday that we spent with them is worth more than anything else, it's a precious moments that we should cherished.
One key on how to stay happy despite of our circumstances is to appreciate the things that we have instead of looking into something that we don't acquire. For as long as the Almighty will allow us to breath, and still alive, it's a great privilege to be grateful.
By recognizing what I have in a simplest way, it helps me to encourage myself and to avoid self pity.Of course, we should have material things in order to survive, what I did is to empower myself, by counting my blessing one by one and recognized them so that I can boost myself and learned to be thankful.
Have a blessed day.
