Count Your Blessings

It's all work for me lately. After office, I teach English to a Korean national for two hours a day. That's extra income for me which is good. I remember a month ago, I was telling God to help me find somebody who needs to learn English as their second language. Two weeks later, my broker introduced me to one of her clients, a Korean, who wanted to learn English and was willing to pay. Isn't that neat?

Nothing much really happened since I last updated my blog but I'd like to leave this verse to you which I've been meditating on for the past few weeks. It's in James 4:2-3 and it says, "You want something but don't get it... You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures." This made me rethink of what I'm asking God for and made me look into my heart to see if there's anything there that's hindering me from receiving the fullness of God's blessings.

This morning while I was browsing the net, I saw this picture and it broke my heart. How often do we complain about so many things in life? And here's a child who doesn't even have a home and food to eat for survival.

Let's not forget to count our blessings!
