What is a blessing?:
A blessing is a special favor given by God we don't deserve or expect. A blessing is how God shows Himself and His glory to us. It's also a gift given to us by God. A blessing is how we see God and what He is doing. It's seeing His handiwork in creation. It's an answer to prayer. It's recognizing the eternal.

What is counting our blessings?:
It's stopping what we are doing, searching, and trying to find God's glory, His work, His favor each and every moment.
God is infinite. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present. He is beyond time, for He created time. Therefore, taking all of this into consideration, He blesses us all time time, and with many blessings every single moment of our lives, every day. He is always here, around, and within (the within part is provided we believe in His Son). Therefore, His glory can always be seen. The question is if we have stopped to notice and acknowledge this.

Why count your blessings?:
We want to see God and join Him in His work. We want to acknowledge Him and praise Him. We want to give Him thanks for everything I just mentioned.
Most importantly, though, is we are commanded to do so in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and Philippians 4:6, along with several other verses in the Bible.
