I've always appreciated the saying, "Count your blessings." I think it's a great reminder to remember all the wonderful things in life. However, I praise God today because the quote has always been a little silly to me in this: I've never [and I don't think I ever will] had a graspable or "countable" amount of blessings.
I'm an emotional person, and the thought is kind of an emotional thing: I worship today for my blessings are too great for my human mind to truly comprehend. [today you'll see some pics of me and some of my greatest blessings in life - I won't always be so sappy and personal, but I thought it was fitting today]
Today is the day that I celebrate the life that God has given me {my birthday - yay!}. So, today I take a break from the daily grind and say thank you. Thank you to everyone in my life, for no matter how big or small the impact: your love and influence means something to me.
If you're reading this blog, thank you. Even if it is not direct - you have inspired me.
Getting older is always a little weird. It's always somewhat surreal to think of the number that is now attached with your age. Maybe it's because I still feel pretty young, but I don't have a strong struggle with aging.
Perhaps, I have the people around me to thank for aging so beautifully. And not necessarily beautifully in outer appearance, but rather in spirit: which I value greatly.
To all of you: thank you for stopping by my blog - your support means so much to me. Thank you for being a part of enriching my life! I hope you are inspired to "count your blessings" today.
Love,
-Rachel
