Thanksgiving: Count Your Blessing

#Thanksgiving Day 6

We can offer thanks to God by Counting Our Blessings

Count Your Blessings
Bless the Lord O my soul, and forget not all His benefits - Psalm 103:2

Counting our blessing means to keep a record of the blessings of God over us within a specific period. Counting our blessings is always being humble and giving thanks for everything in life. 

An excellent way to show thanksgiving to God is by keeping a gratitude journal. A gratitude journal is more than just a list of your blessings, but a way to record what God has done for you on a daily basis. Henry B. Eyring talked about keeping just such a record:
As I would cast my mind over the day, I would see evidence of what God had done for one of us that I had not recognized in the busy moments of the day. As that happened, and it happened often, I realized that trying to remember had allowed God to show me what He had done.

I have been keeping my own gratitude journal. It has been a wonderful blessing and has helped me to show thanksgiving to God!

Keeping a record of what God has done for you helps you to have and keep that thankful attitude. Sometimes, things are not what you want it to be, challenges comes your way. Instead of you to complain and murmur, just take a look at your gratitude book and you will see that the God who did those things could still do it now. 

Counting your blessings will naturally spur you into a thanksgiving mode. No grateful person records what God has done and not give thanks.

His goodness is that much and great. No one can deny it. He does miracles so great, provide like no other, protect like never before and many more.


It’s the sixth day of the Thanks-filled month. Look back from the beginning of this year, count the blessings of God over you. Thank Him for those things Only Him can do what no man can do.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

If Men Were God

He sends  rain  on the just and on the unjust. - Matthew 5:44 It's raining as I type this post and I remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:45 where he talks about  God sending the rain on both the just and unjust. God won't because are a sinner or a bad personal withdraw the rain from Falling on your side. One special trait we are to emulate from God is that we should not discriminate. If men were God, the rain will be raining only on the good, the sun will be shinning only on the perfect. We humans readily discriminate, we isolate those we feel are not perfect or good. We see those who have sinned as been candidates of hell as if we haven't sinned before. One major problem of our society is discrimination. Even in church, we discriminate, we see that prostitute and we readily condemned her. We readily forget that as children of God, we don't just do good to good people, we are to do good to everybody. It doesn't matter how bad a person might be, you ...
