Look on the bright side, look on the bright side. But if I really look on the bright side, how many blessings of life can I find out? I have this thought as I was trying to sleep last night. As soon as I woke up today, I started counting the blessings of life. In a few hours, I figured out 101 blessings. I was astonished that if a few hours could make this, how long this list of blessings would be if we could spend every day counting our blessings.
Interesting, right?
