Too Stressed to be Blessed?

Have you ever heard the phrase "Too Blessed to be Stressed"?  I heard this the other day and wondered about how many times we have taken this and turned it into "Too Stressed to be Blessed".   We fly through life trying to be super-mom, super-wife and super-friend.  We allow ourselves to be pulled further and further away from God and the blessings that He wants to give or already has given to us.  We are too stressed with trying to control things and get everything we think should be done before the sun goes down that we do not take the time to stop and count the blessings we already have.  Sometimes our blessings are with held because we are too stressed running around holding on to things and not allowing God to take the burdens off of us.
I encourage you to not be too stressed to be blessed but to really focus on the blessings you have in life.  I am starting a Blessings Journal.  Daily I will write blessings in my life.  Depending on where you are at in your life it might be hard at first to come up with things but the more you do it the more your eyes are opened to the blessings.  This is going to be my focus this year.
My first entry will be the blessing of my salvation!

Ephesians 1:3-6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
