blessings

im starting to realize that the blessing god promises arent always "good" things or our idea of blessings.
i always assume that a blessing would be God making things easy or the way i want.
but sometimes true blessings, the ones God promises, are just knowing that you can get through. knowing that even though life sucks right now, that you can come out on the other side. sometimes blessings is just knowing that even though everythign around you is falling apart, god is there. he will give strength and comfort.. that you can lean on him and trust that his plan will prevail.
maybe the blessing is just taking comfort in that and holding on to the fact that we are not alone.

"For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness, For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people, For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry, For Beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day, For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others." 
— Audrey Hepburn
