What's your count?

Good morning,

My aunt always tells me to “Count it all JOY”. At times, this can be hard but then I just remind myself of all the blessings I have received. It helps me focus on the things that really matter in my life. Count your blessings and it will make what you are going through not seem as hard. It also helps you appreciate what you already have. Make your good outweigh your not so good. Adversity may be frustrating and scary but it’s also an opportunity to learn and grow. In anything you do there will be some obstacles but if you really want it then you will keep moving towards your goal. Now if you should fall short of this goal it’s ok. As long as GOD is waking you up to see another day then you can try again. We must stay focused on the good things that are happening in our lives so that we are better equipped to handle the not so great days. There is nothing wrong with having an emotional moment but it needs to be just that a “moment”. We are soldiers and we must continue the good fight. No one has ever said that life would be easy…..but it’s soooo worth it. So, today let’s count it all JOY. Be joyful that trouble does not last forever. Be joyful that you have people that care for you and have your back. Be joyful that with every negative situation you are still standing. Be joyful that you are still being blessed at this very moment. You were given this life to enjoy soooooo….ENJOY IT!

I hope that you are able to look straight into any storms and count it all joy because you know that you will be coming out on the other side much happier!

AND remember one joy shatters a thousand griefs….

MAKE IT GREAT!
