More than blessed

Before complaining of the things that you don't have

Before grumbling endlessly 

Think about other people

Who have nothing

No food to eat

No clean clothes to wear

No family to support them

No friends to laugh with and have fun

Yet there you are

Having everything you'll ever need

Everything that would complete your life

Yet still not recognizing it

Think about those who are struggling to live another day
Those who have sicknesses that has no cure

Yet here you are
Wasting another moment of your life
Thinking that you have all the time in the world 

Well let me tell you
You don't have all the time
You only have one life to live
Don't waste it

Because you are so focused on what you don't have

You fail to see how blessed you are

Just the fact that you are alive right now
The fact that you are eating three times a day

The fact that you have clothes to wear

The shoes that you have

Friends who are ready to listen to you

Your family that loves you more than you'll ever know

Those simple things are enough
For you to realize how God has blessed you with so much 

I hope we all take time to think about these things
Instead of complaining and grumbling all the time
Why don't you spend time
To count all your blessings

I'm pretty sure you'll be surprised on how much you have
And there's nothing else you could say but
"Thank you Lord"

Remember,
You may not have everything you want
But surely you have everything you need

Make every moment of your life count
Keep in mind these three words, "I. AM. BLESSED."
