I received an email from some recruiter today. It wasn’t the usual trolling for job candidates. Rather it was a simple Christmas wish. It began with the sentence, “May every day of your life be full of blessings.”
When I read it I realized that every day of my life–every day of your life as well–is full of blessings. The problem is we don’t usually realize it. We are either too busy, or too caught up in our problems, or stuck in traffic.
But I assert that just being alive is a blessing.
It is unusually cold here lately. Stepping out of the cold into a warm building is a blessing. But in some subtle way stepping out into the cold is a blessing as well.
Having family and friends is a blessing, and I feel blessed to know you.
So I repeat the message that was sent to me: May every day of your life be full of blessings. And to that may I add: may you–if only sometimes–be in touch with the blessings that fill your life.
