Find the Blessing in a Difficult Situation
“Everything has its blessing.”
READING: Read the first nine chapters in the “Receiving Your Blessings” section, pages 17-49, slowly and attentively. Take notes and allow the text to resonate with your experiences, as if engaging in a meaningful conversation with a dear friend.
KIND ACTION: Focus on the chapter “Wrestling With the Angel.” After reading it, reflect on a past event that caused you suffering. If you’re comfortable, delve into the details and even discuss it with a trusted friend. Then, take note of the positive changes that event has brought into your life. Conclude by expressing gratitude for the event’s contributions to your life. Avoid revisiting especially painful experiences.
BLESSINGS JOURNAL: If you started a blessings journal, share one of the stories from it with someone. Be mindful and comprehensive in your storytelling, explaining why you see it as a blessing.
