Many times we do not recognized our blessings because we take the good things, relationships, and events in our life as a “given”.
Blessed: Webster Dictionary describes or refers to blessed as “held in reverence”. It is associated with divine, godlike, godly, heavenly, holy, sacred, or supernatural. I feel as though being blessed is an opportunity to acknowledge what our lives have been endowed with not because of what we have done as much as who we are in the divine plan of humanity. Some people equate being blessed as reaping rewards for what they have done for others. Some people feel that “their good works” has somehow caused good fortune to define the state of their being.
The important thing to realize is that if we take time to reflect on the entirety of our life we will see in what aspects we have been blessed and that there are more blessings that will befall us when we take stock of “who we are in the mystery of life”. It is in our divinity that is the blessing. The raw unfiltered soul essence of our being that is the blessing and what makes us blessed. It is not things or circumstances of life, but us. It is you and me, being who we are in our highest selves that constitute blessings. When we hold each other in reverence we are blessing others and we are blessed. When we see our connection with humanity to be divine, holy, and sacred, we live a blessed life that in turn blesses others.
Every day that I wake up and see the rising sun, and every night that I go to my slumber under the light of the moon, I know that I have been blessed. With every breath I take and for the blessing of being able to express my most inner thoughts I know that I am blessed. What an amazing gift to know that you are blessed and that you have the opportunity to be a blessing in the lives of others. This is the connective thread that binds the fabric of our mutual existence. Be a blessing to someone as you navigate your journey through life. Step out of your comfort zone and be there for someone besides yourself and you will be amazed how you begin to identify the blessings in your own life.
Make me a blessing to someone today so that the light of my soul illuminates the world and enhances the lives of others.
