my mother has always encouraged me to keep a grateful journal, a journal of every blessing i have...of every, single thing i am thankful for.
one of my favorite songs when i was young was 'count your blessings' by the martens. it's about the story of job in the bible, and how he literally lost everything but never doubted God-and kept thanking Him for what He did have. it is an amazing story. seriously, go read it if you haven't. and if you have, read it again.
a blessing can be anything. it doesn't have to be a characteristic you are glad you have...it can be the fact that you have a warm house when it's below freezing out...or food to more than fill your belly...or that one day you get to sleep in...or the fact you have a job in this economy...or even just that ONE person you know you can go to about anything.
"rejoice in the Lord, always; i will say it again: rejoice!!"
- phillippians 4:4, NIV.
