There's something about strawberries that just make me happy. I have brightened my kitchen with splashes of strawberry decor to help bring a smile to my face when needed. I associate strawberries with some special memories from my childhood as they have been my favorite fruit since I can remember. Strawberries are red too, and red is my signature color! :) Strawberries are a small detail of my life that help me to remember my uniqueness, and that it's okay to be who God created me to be. I consider strawberries to be one of the many little blessings in my life.
Blessings are the many ways that God touches our lives. From the air we breathe to the love we share with loved ones, blessings come in many forms, and are meant to be counted. When we take the time to count our blessings we realize we have much to be thankful for. His mercies new every morning, His amazing grace, His gift of salvation through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ, are all blessings from above.
Have you ever counted your blessings? If you have, what are some of your blessings that you have counted? Big or small, I would love it if you would share some with me in the comments below. If you haven't, then I'd like to encourage you to try this exercise. Grab a sheet of paper and a writing utensil, and write down everything you can think of that you are thankful for: such as loved ones, good health, life itself, or even things you enjoy that bring a smile to your face (the scent of fresh roses maybe, or delicious coffee in the mornings, etc.). Remember that every life is full of blessings. Our eyes may not be open to them, but they are there. I look forward to reading all about your blessings!
