Imagine you woke up one morning to the whistling sound of a hurricane piercing loudly through the tiny spaces between your window shutters. Imagine waking up to the shrieks of grief and despair coming from the next room. Imagine opening your eyes to the sight of death and destruction. Imagine climbing to the roof of your house to see that the school you've loved has gone, or that nothing is left of the grocery store around the corner but remains and ashes....
Some people around this globe don't need to imagine such events; they have witnessed and lived such moments with every aspect of their senses...
Out of all the things you count in your life to be hurtful or unsatisfactory; have you stopped to count your blessings?
Have you gave your mother a hug out of pure appreciation for her unconditional love? Have you shown your father the respect he deserves for making sure you never miss out on any of life's necessities?
Have you held your little siblings and showed them affection so they will look up to you? Have yu showed your older siblings trust and gratitude for getting you out of trouble?
Many small things we overlook because we don't realize their importance. But no matter how insignificant your efforts may seem you will end up influencing a change or occupying a memory or drawing a smile on others' faces.
Never forget to be grateful for what you have and look at the difficulties in your life as opportunities to improve and become stronger, braver and more compassionate. Love your life the way it is; with it's good and it's bad and always find that beam of light that will help you overcome your obstacles....
And don't forget to count your blessings!

Everyday you need to count each blessing, cause you never know when they can be taken from you...Day is blessing, so make it count and be happy that you are alive... be thankful that every opportunity is a blessing and things that may seem to be punishment may just be a blessing... so always count your blessing and give thanks to God..
ReplyDeleteLife is a blessing itself that is full of blessings that are uncountable. Every breath we take, every heart beat pumping blood, every sound, every smell, every view......... We have so much more than what we really deserve. Living the moment and being thankful for everything is the least that can be done.
ReplyDeleteWe don't know the value of something until we lose it but we should always try to appreciate the caring people that are always byour sides and we should always be grateful for what Allah has blessed us with .

ReplyDeleteYes really , people always think about what they don't have instead of looking for what they have and others don't. We always seek for perfection forgetting that it is impossible in this life.
ReplyDeleteGod always give us more than what we really deserve, so as slaves our hearts should always be dedicated to the love of the Lord to thank him and to pray.
