I think it’s very important for all of us to understand that now is the time to count our blessings.

You know, many times in life we get so involved with the day in the day out that we forget to think about the micros.

The things that happen every day that are actual blessings versus what we just consider everyday regular life. 

But right now, it’s so important to sit back and think to yourself, what is amazing about my life?

And when I say amazing, I mean what is normal? What is average? What is something that you take for granted that other people wish that they had?

You know, I had a long conversation with a friend this morning and we were talking about how both of our families were kind of huddling together and we were thankful for the things that were happening or were in place around this moment of chaos and how we need to count our blessings.

So my challenge to you today is to count your blessings. Think about all the things that are going right.

For instance, do you still have work? If so, that’s a blessing. If not, we are thinking about you. We are praying for you and we know that you will make it through this. 

But if you can still go to work, that is a blessing. Even if it is at home. We know that there’s a lot of people that are working for a home that usually doesn’t. 

And you’re also dipping your toes into the fire because you’re working from home with your children in the house as well.

But are your children healthy?

Are you healthy?

Do you have a roof over your head?

Can you still wake up in the morning and continue to do those things that you do?

See, these are all blessings now for you it’s different. I want you to take the time today to think about what is normal. That is amazing. That is a blessing.

You know, for me, I honestly sit here and think about how I can still come down to the same office. I’m still helping a lot of the same clients. 

I’m still creating a lot of the same content. I’m still the same person that I was before this moment in time, so think to yourself, Hey, does this fruit taste great?

Is this water refreshing? Does this walk outside feel good? Does the fact that I can breathe in and out the stretching of your lungs, your chest, think about the micros.

Here’s the thing.

When you start to think about the blessings that are in your life, you transitioned to the other piece of what I want to talk about today and that is that you can be a blessing.

I want you to think about how you can be a light, a shining ray, a blessing to the world right now because a lot of people, a lot of people, a lot of people need somebody to be a light to be a blessing in their life.

You know, in this same conversation with my friend, he was talking about how he wished he could give 10 and this was a specific number, what if 10 local restaurants had a free website?

Because he knows that right now it would impact their business.

It would impact their life, it would impact the community because of everything that’s happening right now. Being able to have a website where you could take orders online would be a game-changer for restaurants who can’t have people come and sit in their dining rooms anymore.

But what I found funny about that is he was thinking about how I can be a blessing in ...
