Blessing Our Circumstances

“Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you…If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you, and even if it is troublesome for a time, it will gradually fade out, if you sincerely bless it.”

Emmett Fox (Irish New Thought Spiritual Leader; July 30th, 1886 ~ August 13th, 1951)

“After accepting our present circumstances, no matter what they are, we must learn to bless them.”

“…blessing whatever vexes us is the spiritual surrender that can change even troublesome situations for the better. Blessing the circumstances in our lives also teaches us to trust.”

“Then start to count your blessings. Start today. Make a spiritual inventory of all your blessings. See if you can’t get to one hundred….Writing it down focuses our attention on the abundance already within our grasp and makes it real.”
