Muir’s Morning Motivational Minute

‘A grateful heart is one that finds the countless blessings of God in the seemingly mundane everyday life.’

The key word in this quote to me is ‘mundane.’ We all know (sort of) what ‘mundane’ means, but I thought it would be interesting to see what Dictionary.com offered in a way of an exact definition. Mundane is defined as: lacking interest or excitement; dull; routine; ordinary.

It’s easy to say ‘I’m blessed’ when a job promotion or a new child or grand baby comes along. But, you might be asking, where are the ‘countless blessings’ in a dull, ordinary day. Well, let me reel off eight or 10 quick blessings and you can take it from there. Blessing one, you woke up this morning … then in no particular order — the bed you slept in, the roof over your head, you put your feet on the floor, electricity, air conditioning, coffee or caffeine, the smile of a friend or loved one, a job to go to or rest from, sunshine or rain because both are good and so you see, our blessing list really is countless. From the time you open your eyes in the morning until you close them at night … God’s countless blessings are everywhere. You just have to open your eyes and your heart and recognize them.

God’s ‘countless blessings’ to you on this day! Have a great Saturday and a blessed day!
