Blessings. We all possess them. Sometimes we notice them like a hair on a sweater and in other moments, our eye does not catch a particular blessing even though the sun’s rays are piercing right through it.
Blessings are sometimes physical, like overcoming cancer or becoming someone’s new friend. They are at times mental and emotional, where we have learned a life lesson or gained a new insight, an experience, and an epiphany.
Our hearts naturally turn warm and serene when the word blessing is uttered. But the problem most of us have is grasping onto the belief that blessings are newborn babies, yellow voile curtains, or a halo cautiously hanging over a specific event or happening.
Many blessings are actually cold, burdensome, dark, and musty.
They sometimes give us an aftertaste. It may be when a life is lost to the one we have loved. It may be realizing a flaw about someone or ourselves we care about and the pedestal we had put the person on or the pedestal we were sitting on has crumbled- rarely do we give perspective a chance and view such instances as blessings.
This package, this gift called a “blessing” may not be the gift we want or are aspiring to have but it is the water that we need in order for us to grow and prosper in our lives.
