Hello ,

Just for a moment today, stop what you are doing and think about eight of the most treasured blessings that you enjoy in this life (not including your relationship with God).  Your list might look like mine did when I tried to name the top eight blessings in my life. My children, my wife, and my health were top among the list...and there were several others that captured my thoughts. 

Now, try to choose three of these blessings that you will remove from your thoughts. It's difficult to

do isn't it?  Most of us struggle with choosing even one. This exercise reminds us, that there are people that we encounter every day who have lost something near and dear to them. There wasn't a choice in the matter, they just happened to lose something that they put so much stock in.

 

It's important to remember that everyone you meet today is struggling, or has struggled with losing something or someone that is precious to them. Only our Heavenly Father can help us to see prople through His lens...and with His love in out hearts. His perspective is vital to helping us to cut those around us some slack. 

Have a great day and God bless!
