“Recognize that you are enough, and that
all external gifts are simply extra blessings.”
How do you describe that you are blessed?
Sometimes in life, when I meet a very wealthy family, I wonder how much money
they have, how big is their house, how many cars they have and hundreds of
questions in my mind.
I believe, once in a while those questions
come into our minds. Who doesn’t want
to be wealthy?
A young man came to my house to share his
dream. He said, “I want
to be very wealthy in my life” So I
asked him, “What
definition of very wealthy?”
He mentioned some names in the top list of
the wealthiest person in this country and in the world. I could imagine what the wealthiest people
have in their life and how their “Balance sheet” looks
like.
He mentioned one famous name and said, “I want to be like him”
The only thing I could say, “It is a great dream, and yes you can
achieve that dream. However, you have to
remember you cannot ‘copy
paste’ others’ life into yours. We are a very special creation and we are
blessed in unique ways.”
Maybe it wasn’t a good advice that I could give to this young man.
It seems unusual if I say I don’t really think about being wealthy in
my life.
Sound like a denying while people this
world want to be very wealthy.
Maybe I am weird or crazy, but I think “to be blessed is the most important in
life”
Instead of wanting to be very wealthy I
always pray that I am blessed enough to enjoy this life. And every time I count my blessings, I always
amaze with my life. I am perfectly blessed in my imperfection.
One day I said to my husband, “ I am so blessed, because the girl in
the shop smiled and she was so happy to meet me again. She remembered my name.
And the man whom I never met for a long time, he could remember my full name.
He was so happy to see me again. Honestly I couldn’t remember his name at all” Awkward when I mentioned it. My husband just smiled. It was
probably crazy thing to count as a blessing.
As Janette Oke said, “Blessings
sometimes show up in unrecognizable disguises. ”
One small thing or simple thing, seen or
unseen I like to count as blessings.
My life is not perfect at all; I struggle
with my health however it brings me to meet loving and caring doctors. Through
my work, I meet wonderful people who become good friends and sister or brother
for me.
On the top of all my blessings is my
family. I have my two lovely daughters who make me a very proud mother and a
husband who always loves and supports me.
When we count our blessings we are wealthy perfectly
.
“Count your blessings.
There are many beautiful things in life to
appreciate.
The gift of life is a priceless.”
