Have you ever heard the saying “count your blessings”? Why would someone say something like that to us? Could it be they were trying to remind us to be thankful and to appreciate all the great things we have in our life? Too often we focus on what is missing in our lives instead of being grateful for what we do have.

The same is true in our relationship with God.Many times, we complain to God about the imperfect circumstances we find ourselves in, the problems we are facing, how things are not good enough, and how things could be better if only this or that was in place.
