Most of my family was sick during Christmas.
We had to cancel our plans.
As I was laying in bed resting, it dawned on me how blessed I was to have a comfortable bed and soft pillows and blankets in which to rest while I was sick. I am also blessed with a husband who takes excellent care of the patients in the household.
I have recovered and now he is sick and I am blessed to be able to take care of him while he is recuperating. Another blessing is that everyone is on Christmas break and no one is missing work or school.
I've noticed when I dwell on what I don't have, I am not as aware of others' needs. I would rather concentrate on being thankful for what I do have, because then I take the focus off myself.
Count your many blessings today!
