How Do You Count Your Blessings?

How do you count your blessings? In the numbers of accounts you have in bank? The numerous propertied that you have? The career that you work so hard wherein you earn big bucks?
I have none of these. No bank accounts, no properties, only a simple career that teach kids how to write, count and read. How to behave well, how to face this world full of uncertainties, temptation and miseries, and most of all...how to count true blessings.
Everyday I count my blessings, I thank God that everyday when I wake up every morning there is always something amazing that awaits me. I don't have any precious material possessions but I have my children which makes me proud all the time. I thank God that even though I am living in scarcity and can't nearly afford the necessities of life, I still survive. Living is surviving and looking at the brighter side of life. People often complain, I do too. When I forgot that I'm strong, when I forgot that there are people who suffer most than me, when I forgot that God is still there, giving me all these pains in order to become more vigorous, when I forgot that there are still three little ones that need my strength and affection. I hate complaining though I can't help it. But life must goes on.....
Redundancy is so annoying but it makes a big difference when you keep on repeating how proud are you of your kids who are working so hard to make you proud, who exert all their effort in order to become a good and productive citizens. Who never complain why they only have these, why they are only eating these, wearing these and never been gone to a place like these.
I often told them not to compare because comparing is considered one of the most irresolvable things in the world, count their blessings instead and soon when they are already used to it, and make it as their habit, they will find out how bountiful life is, how good God is and how lucky are they despite of inadequacy.
Every little things count, your lucky when your stapler have staple wires in it, your lucky this day that you were stuck in a traffic jam, because you'll soon found out that something bad happened in your workplace and your one of the victim if ever you arrived earlier that time.
Just count your blessings, never complain, and soon you'll find out that life is not that stressful and its not hard living after all.
