The idea of counting blessings is not a new one. At this time of year, in the United States we think of the Thanksgiving season. We look around at seemingly obvious things we can be thankful for. For some it's family, a home, a job, health, life.
But, at times these things may not seem as obvious to be blessing. Especially when we are going through struggles. Struggles with a difficult job, struggles with family, health, understanding our relationship with God. It can be hard to feel thankful, and remember, "all things work together for good, for those who love God."(Romans 8:28)
But God's word is true. Unlike our feelings, which are inconsistent at best, He is consistent and steady fast. He is constant and patient. He is Love.
During this month, as the holiday season comes upon us, let's pray for our eyes to be open to more then just the obvious. Let's pray for eyes to see the new God has for us every morning.

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." ~Lamentations 3:22,23
