Since last year, I want to make it a point to have the sacrament of confession atleast once every annum. And because it's lenten season there's always a "Kumpisalang Bayan" scheduled in each Parish.
Just a while ago I had a confession in our Church. The priest told me that this season of Lent is not all about prayer & fasting but also focusing on gratitude. He mentioned on our conversation that sometimes we focus on things that we do not have which makes us unhappy. We find it hard to become happy with the victory of others because what they have is exactly the same thing we long to ourselves but there are so much blessings that we should be grateful for. There are people who have much more than we do but on the other hand, there are also who have less. Yes, very true.
He suggested to keep a journal wherein I would write everyday even just one small thing those that I am thankful for. So now, I already started it. It will help a lot especially in low times that when I read it all over, I'll get reminded of how good has God been in my life.
So why focusing on things that you don't have yet when blessings keep on pouring every minute?
Now, what are the things you are thankful for?
