We are blessed...we need to remind ourselves.

Even though the routine of my job often is at times seem monotonous; Thank you Allah, for the opportunity to work. There are many  who have no job.

Even though i keep my eyes closed against the morning light as possible; Thank you Allah,  that i can see. Many are blind.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the picture in magazines and the menu is at times;  unbalanced... Thank you Allah, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

Even though i clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings; Thank you  Allah, that i can hear. There are many who are deaf.

Even though i grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest; Thank you Allah for the life i have lived.

Even though i huddle in my bed and put off rising; Thank you Allah, that i have the strength to rise...There are many who are bedridden.

...Alhamdullillah...Thank you Allah...

...For what we have and who we are...

 

Alhamdulillah by Maher Zain is inspiring ; 

 This one...the lyrics are something worth pondering...

BE  BLESSED  and  BE  A  BLESSING  TO  OTHERS 

Dear  Friends and Me, 

Our presence, is a present to the world.
We're unique and one of a kind.
Our life can be, what we want it to be.
Take the days, just one at a time.

Count our blessings, not our troubles.
We'll make it through, whatever comes along.
Within us, are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.

Don't put limits on ourselves.
So many dreams, are waiting to be realized.
Decisions are too important, to leave to chance.
Reach for our peak, our goal and our prize.

Nothing wastes more energy, than worrying.
The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets.
Don't take things too seriously.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember, that a little love goes a long way.
Remember, that a lot of love goes forever.
Remember, that friendship is a wise investment.
Life's treasures, are people... Together.

Realize, that it's never too late.
Do ordinary things, in an extraordinary way.
Have health, hope and happiness.
Take the time, to wish upon a star.

And don't ever forget....
For even a day....
How very special we are.

 ... THANK  YOU  ALLAH -  FOR ALLOWING ME TO LIVE TO THIS DAY...
