Counting your blessings when you're feeling down

Count your blessings when you're feeling down, no matter how big or small count them. Develop a grateful heart and Thank God for your blessings. This will help get you through those hard times. The list below is a list of mine

1. My son, Without him I am sure I would have killed myself a long time ago. He's my best friend. We talk about everything. There's nothing we can't talk about. I started when he was a baby having conversations with him about whatever was troubling me and getting him to do the same. I wanted him to feel like he could talk to me about anything when he got older and now he does and we are close. 

2. Jesus, for without God's son I would go to hell

3. My small family, though they are small they're good people and they love me
