		<description><![CDATA[Have you taken inventory ofÂ  the blessings in your life lately? When we â€œcount our blessings,â€ this practice often means listing everything for which we are grateful.Â  Itâ€™s easy, however, to fall into the perspective that our blessings have come from somewhere outside of ourselves.
