Introduction: It gives me great pleasure to introduce Sharon’s Article of Virtue. Sharon is one remarkable lady I respect and admire so much, and it is no wonder I call her “my online mom” LoL!

This is a wonderful work that cuts to the heart of things in our daily life and business life as well. The prayers found within this article are so specific and genuine just as God wants us all to do when speaking to Him. My motto in life is "Give thanks where thanks are needed" and to me Sharon’s show of gratitude to, not just God, but all other people in her life is a clear indication of a lady who appreciates God’s blessing. She has been a very solid rock on which many of us stand on and has continued to persevere through the times.

 Thank you Sharon for a fantastic Article of Virtue. And to you, good friends of ALP, I invite you to join in these blessings, as you read “I AM TRULY BLESSED”.

I AM TRULY BLESSED by Sharon Lee

 "Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?"

I Love to contemplate and reflect. The first word that comes to my mind is "Greed". This is a word that should not be in the vocabulary. This is a reminder that we must all share our glory in life. All Glory is NOT accomplished alone. We do things for others with the understanding that it will fulfill our hearts and soul and not to boast. All good comes to those in need, who are patient, kind and understanding. Sharing our ideas and accomplishing our written goals is a part of everyone. Not just one alone. I am truly blessed to have these things in my life.

But more importantly, what have I done to help? Luke 17:11-19 reminds us all that "Thanks" is not a necessary thing to boast. Recognition comes from our hearts and not by glorifying ourselves. Recognition is a very recognizable thing by all of us. We do not have to spend our time announcing our own accomplishments. We must spend our time in recognizing others, in teaching others, in glorifying others and to be there for others. I am truly blessed to have many recognizable people in my life. I am truly blessed.

The warm sensation in my heart is even more filled now. I now think of my accomplishment for today. How many have I truly helped today? I have done the very best that I could do. I am thankful for my Family, I am thankful for my many friends and I am thankful for the opportunity to be alive and with free spirit. I am thankful that the lord has given me an opportunity to make all feel better about their lives and even more thankful that I am able to share in everyone’s happiness everyday. I am truly blessed.

Now, as I prepare to retire, I have a peaceful feeling. My evening Prayer comes very easy:

 Dear Lord, Thank you so very much for my wonderful life. Thank you for my family and thank you for my many friends. Thank you for the ability to help others in my life, thank you for sharing with me, patience and understanding. And Dear Lord, please bless everyone as you have truly blessed me.

I am truly blessed. +++

Hi everyone,

I believe this is going to be one of our most relaxed weekend especially when you combine it with our article of the week specially put together by our very own dear Sharon of Peace.

According to my ALP Uncle, Thomas Richmond, Sharon is “our online mom” and I am sure a whole lot of you will quickly agree to that testament!

Sharon’s article of open appreciation of every blessing she enjoys from the Creator as well as friends, speaks volume. “A thank you Attitude” creates happiness in us and in the Giver and equally helps our Big Dreams to grow (not forgetting that “Life is a dream to work on”) thereby instilling some amicable air of Believability within us. This is something we need to develop convincingly from within – “To thine own self be true”

Our lovely Rina sums up Sharon article in her brilliant review when she asked: “How many of us can actually count our blessings?” An insight into a very relaxed way to spend this weekend - Contemplate and Reflect on this! The song says “Count your blessings by naming them one by one” Please come back to tell us your discovery. I am truly Blessed.
