Count your blessings. You will know you are truly blessed!

Many a times in our lives, we come across a situation that made us think "How can something like this happen to me? I must be the most unfortunate person alive, right now!". We also seem to resort to that comfort zone where we pity ourselves and wallow in it.

Want to know the truth? You are blessed despite all this! Why? You have to know what is being truly unfortunate. It is like experiencing hell right here on Earth. Check the story below. It happened in United States - the most powerful nation in the world, the nation that has the most richest people on earth, the nation that prides itself on being so developed. And when such a nation can have such an appalling case within its people... where can you count yourself?

A Baby's Death, Grim as the Life of His Mother - New York Times

About 2 years back, after a prayer meeting evening, I had the opportunity to talk with an uncle of my friend who stays in New Jersey. He mentioned something that I have not forgotten to this day. The title of this post is what I heard from him. If we really start counting our blessings, you will know how fortunate are you to have all the good things that you have in your life. Good Parents, Good Family, Good Upbringing, Good Education, Good Job, Good Friends... and if you are married, a Good Wife and if you have children... Good Children... just so many...!!

Just think about all these and think about the plight of Tracina Vaughn. You will know that you are truly blessed.

God Bless You!
