Blessings of being blessed

You know there are days, you can just feel the blessings from above. Today was one of them. i don't know why exactly.  Maybe because yesterday evening was such a great night! Maybe because I talked with some friends today that are having issues and I realized how easy my yoke is compared to theirs right now. Maybe it is feeling gracious, because I know that I have been blessed! I have a roof over my head, I have clothes on my body and shoes on my feet. I have food to eat, and a place to rest at night. Maybe its because I have a wonderful man who is my husband. I have great pets that keep me amused as well as protected. I have family, even though we are far away from each other, that I know if I needed them they would be there for me. All sounds like pretty much any of us could be writing this. But you know, when you stop and think about it, there are alot of people that don't have some of it, or some people that don't have any of it!  There are  areas torn up by hurricanes, flooding, earthquakes, violence, separation, ill will,  wars and strife, etc.  It's all around us, yet in our own little worlds, which is part of the bigger world, we can think, "we say or think, well, that isn't us. We should  say "thank you YVHH (God), that here, right now, we have peace, tranquility, safety, rest.  I think by thinking of those others that aren't blessed and praying for them, thinking of them, really appreciating what you have now and where you are now, makes the blessing for us. Even if we have nothing to give to help, sometimes just giving of yourself, even if just by thinking a good thought or saying a little prayer, can help them and make you feel good at the same time. Maybe.....
