Blessing Counting

The Winans have a beautiful song called Count it all Joy. I am meditating on what it really means to count blessings even in the trying times. I don’t think I’m the only one who prays for a miraculous end to challenges. But I’m coming to understand that it might be just as useful to pray for the discipline and endurance I need to make it all the way through the period of struggle.

And I’m realizing I don’t have to internalize the struggle, even as I make my way through it. I’m reminding myself that what I focus on in my life magnifies in my life. So if I’m intentional about focusing on my blessings during difficult times, I believe those blessings will be (or at least will seem) larger than those things stressing me. It’s the kind of mind magic I need to minimize the impact of challenges on my forward progress QueenSis. #JoyCounts
