Are you blessed?

[ad#Google Adsense-1]

Good day my friends. Today I will like to share a per­sonal expe­ri­ence with you that I hope may move you for­ward in your life and help you to real­ize just how blessed you really are!

Just a few days ago I noticed a but­ton under my left foot. It was one of those but­tons that looked like a huge pim­ple that you usu­ally get some­times on your face. I got scared when I saw that. For the next few days I could not even walk good. It felt really horrible!

I then got so fed up of not being able to walk prop­erly that I decided to burst the but­ton myself. I burst the but­ton and a lot of pus ended up com­ing out of it but the but­ton was gone. I was happy that I could walk a lot bet­ter. How­ever, after about 24 hours the but­ton came back once again. Now this really had me a lit­tle wor­ried! I decided that I needed to seek med­ical atten­tion con­cern­ing this problem!

A few days later I went to a doc­tor and he looked at it and he said he may need to inject the foot and burn up the infec­tion that he was see­ing. Gosh, my heart could have almost jumped out of my body. How­ever, he gave me a chance by telling me that he will give me some antibi­otics and see if that gets rid of the infec­tion and I will have to visit him after 2 days so he will see if it worked or if he needed to burn the infection.

I went home both relieved and scared at the same time. I took the antibi­otics as pre­scribed and I prayed and prayed and had other peo­ple pray­ing that the doc­tor would not have to burn the infection.

Two days later I went and the doc­tor said it was fine and there was no prob­lem! I was extremely happy!

I then began to look at life a bit dif­fer­ently! I began to see just how blessed we really are and how we take the lit­tle things for granted. We spend so much of our lives think­ing that ‘the grass is greener on the other side’ when we don’t real­ize just how blessed we are right now. When I saw that I could walk again I saw how blessed I was just being able to walk. There are lots of peo­ple who will do any­thing to trade places with you and the cur­rent sit­u­a­tion you are in right now. I heard some­one remark that ‘Once I had the blues cause I had no shoes, when upon the street I saw a man who had no feet’.

We are blessed a whole lot and we need to realise that  lot of the things that we got for free e.g. our health, our feet, our eye­sight etc. are things we should not take for granted! There are peo­ple who will do any­thing they could to have what you have. So learn to start count­ing your bless­ings. Don’t feel your bless­ings don’t count!

Remem­ber the next time you are feel­ing down, do as one of my men­tors Og Mandino would do. Take a look at the news­pa­per and grab a look at the obit­u­ary sec­tion. There you will see lots of peo­ple who will do any­thing to trade places with you!!

STOP TAKING YOUR BLESSINGS FOR GRANTED!!!
