Increasing blessings

Acknowledging your blessing will only increase your blessings. There is two things In Islam that increase ones blessing-seeking forgiveness from Allahswt (as we all sin in different ways)and being grateful. There is even a verse in the Quran that says increase your gratefulness to me (Allahswt) and I will increase your blessings. I carry a gratitude dairy which I try and write in as much as I can (a few times a week) I feel its so good to show Allahswt that I am acknowledging all the good things that happen to me in a day, even if its been a hard day esp so since the last few months have been so hard for me and so to say yes these five things right now  Iam so happy Allahswt you put them in my life or they happened to me, makes we show Allahswt that I am ever grateful. I suppose its a habit of mind set to change our thinking as all blessing as a trust and need to be nurtured , loved and appreciated to get the full benefit form them. If Allahswt were to take anything away, or we lose a blessing or a testing experience happens, this is only for our own good and their is much khair in it as Allahswt is the best of planners and knows what is best for us in all times of our life. Always keeping a positive expectation of Allahswt mercy and hope, and acknowledge how very much in need we are of him.

I acknowledge the great blessing of being able to breath, the eyes that see, the ears that hear, the mouth that taste and the body that is able to do things. The family and friends I have in my life (even thou many are far by distance, yet close by heart). May we keep acknowledging our blessings and flavors upon us, we don't want to be in a position of regret that we only realize how important or great something was after it has left our lives. Each day we keep remember that life is a gift to be used wisely and our words and actions have an impact on ourselves and others, so may they be of goodness and may we be of the grateful!
