Description
Country Blessings is a photograph of an old rusting iron gate out in the country. It is adorned with a wagon wheel in the middle of it. Wagon Wheels are said to be symbolic of transportation, successful journeys and expeditions, and it can also stand for perpetuity, or lasting forever.
The photograph contains a wish for "Country Blessings" for each person who receives this. To me, that means blessings of peace, love, and special family times are wished upon you. When you think of times in the country, you may think of a simpler life, home cooking, watermelon, fresh peas, new cut hay in the field, beautiful horses grazing in the pasture, and family gathered around. Even though country life can sometimes bring hard times , the days are filled with honest work and a sense of satisfaction.
"Each Day is a gift to open" just simply reminds one that each new day is fresh with many possibilities and many outcomes. As the gate symbolizes the opening into the waiting field, it can also symbolize the opening of a brand NEW DAY. Of course, attitude has MUCH to do with how the day unfolds. It is said that "The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude." Also, it is commonly said "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
If you open your gift with enthusiasm, you will find joy and energy and blessings will fill the hours. If you open your gift with dread, you will find anxiety, restlessness, and possible troubles will accompany you. But if positive thoughts fill your mind and actions, you will likely be greeted with positive outcomes.
Attitude has been likened to a box of crayons that color your world. If you constantly color your picture gray, your picture will always be bleak. But if you add brighter, more vibrant colors to your picture, your picture begins to lighten up. Same goes for your day.
Pray throughout the day and that just adds to the blessings of the day. Filling your day with prayer just puts you closer to the ONE who granted you the day to begin with. If your attitude is gratitude, joy follows. Thanks be to God for the blessings of each day!
