A Blessing is in the eye of the beholder.

To be able to see is a blessing to the blind.

To be able to walk is a blessing to the crippled.

To have a home and a family is a blessing to the homeless.

And to live in freedom is a blessing to those under persecution.

Are the bumps in your road blessings and lessons?
Or are the bumps fears that rule you?
Yes, our lessons are extremely difficult sometimes!
But we all have a choice…the choice whether to confront them, or not.
Don’t be afraid of what might come.
Go ahead and grab a piece of paper.
Now look at yourself. Really look.
Are you blessing your body?
What are you reading?
What do you think about?
Years from now at your funeral, will people express their gratitude for your sharing?
Even in sorrow there is much to learn and teach others—sometimes what looks like a failure on the outside, ends up being the biggest blessing, somehow, somewhere, sometime!
