Self-Reflection // Count My Blessings

Hello, Steemians~!

This random idea just popped into my head as I was thinking on what to write. I feel like I should start to count my blessings in order to remind me of being more thankful and grateful about my life. And, I hope I can make this count my blessings as daily reflection before I go to bed.

One of the reasons of doing this is to prevent myself from being take for granted. I notice that I become more demanding, greedy and less thankful when I start to expect things to happen in my own way. If things do not happen as what I expect, I feel upset and terrible. This is quite irritating because it represents the self-centredness and selfishness in me. I might forget how others feel and think because I think I am right. ><

Do I feel happy? Of course not because I will stumble and stuck in that cycle of situation over and over again. And, I will suffer as I might dying to prove to others that I am right. (sounds tiring and indeed it is tiring)

Therefore, despite all the circumstances, I encourage all of you be joyful always.

Bible Says

I believe that live a joyous life is what god wants for all of us. In bible, god tells us that "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." (Proverbs 17:22). And he also tells us:

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

So yea, nothing is more convincing than his words. I think only God is able to satisfy us with overflowing joy but not others material things or someone else.

So, I would like to express my thankfulness for all the below:

1. I am able to work and contribute.
2. I have friendly and helpful colleagues. They are my lunch mates too.:)
3. Received red packet from company. <3 (This made my day!)
4. Getting a free 100 plus drink.
5. I am able to reach home around 630pm.
6. Have ample time to cook simple food as I am having bloated stomach.
7. I have time to watch drama :D
8. I have a comfy place to rest.
9. Wifi-equipped

Prayer

Dear God,
Thank you for taking care of me and my family. May lord you continue to lead and direct us in god-pleasing life and prevent us from all the danger and harm. May your love and peace be with us all the time so I wont perish but have an everlasting life. May you teach us how to humble ourselves and grow spiritually. I surrender ALL to you in your mighty hands. Amen~
