blessings

God never cooperates with evil. He simply offers us the opportunity to transform the painful experiences in our lives into advantages and blessings. (Fr. Maximos)

When I count my blessings, I find you in every one.

The Lord bestows his blessings there, where he finds the vessels empty.

If we ask God for a calm, thankful heart that sees all the blessings His grace imparts, He can teach us many lessons in illness that can never be learned in health.

Today you will envy the blessings of another, or you will bask in the wonder of the amazing grace you have been given.

If [God] send me no husband, for the which blessing I am at him upon my knees every morning and evening ...

The gift of today enfold in grace.

The more we give, the more we reap the benefits of feeling good in helping others. We are all capable of giving and and as well receiving, from giving graciously The blessing about giving is that it always comes back to us!

Life is short. Things can change very suddenly. Make the best of every situation. Look for the silver lining. Maintain a positive mindset. Remain optimistic. Never give up hope. Savor every day you are given. Live with gratitude. Appreciate even the smallest things. Genuinely do the best you can, and once you do, don't dimish this by undermining your efforts by whatever limitations you face. Acceptance can be hard at times, but it is necessary to keep moving forward. In order to deal with situations as they come in the best manner possible, we must let go of things we have no control over. Energy must go towards the here and now. Be cognizant of your blessings, of how precious life is. Live with gratitude and appreciate every moment.

Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don__, you will leak away your innate contentment. It__ easy enough to pray when you__e in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments.

The manifest of gratitude is hundred-fold blessings.

Be careful of the kind of people who you seek advice from. Some people are not happy with your blessings in life, and would do anything to stop you from embracing your future blessings.

You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestation of your own blessings.

God has unlimited resources. Ask him for what you desire.

When you have the courage to follow your talents into the dark unknown places they lead, often God will send angels to light your way.

For those who praise God and say __od is good,_ or, ____ so blessed,_ when you get what YOU want, try praising Him and saying, __od is good,_ and ____ so blessed,_ when you__e suffering. To do the first is effortless. The masses do it, that's how easy it is. To do the latter requires something greater: strength, faith and gratitude - no matter the ouch involved.

Before you ask God for more blessings, try to first thank Him for all your past and present blessings in your life.

I am most thankful for what I don__ have, for had my life__ wish list been filled in the manner I had chosen I would be steeped in meaningless trinkets verses bathed in God__ treasures.
