    This may sound strange, but going blind has been my greatest blessing.

    Before I went blind I just took everything for granted. Taking away just this one sense has made me more aware of living life to the full. Take opportunities when you can, regard success and failure as two sides of the same coin, with no more power than you give them.
    Some blessings can seem to be bad things, to some, but going blind has given me the chance to accept life for all it offers.

    My first baby girl is my greatest blessing in life.

    My wife and I had a good relationship since we've met at work year 1993. We had boyfriend-girlfriend relationship for 8 years when we decided to get married last 2001.

    We're happy about our marriage and almost perfect with only one thing is missing, Baby. Yes, a baby that all of married coupes dreamed for.

    After we discovered that my wife had a problem in her right falopian tube. Still, support, love and most of all faith in GOD remains in our lives.

    Last 2007 my wife got pregnant and delivered our first baby girl by 2008. We named her Sian Jaira and she is now turning 3 by September 20 of this year.

    Thanks GOD!

    With so many possible answers I would have to say my wife. Without her nothing else in my life would have been or will be possible. She put the leash on me that needed to be there having just gotten out of the Coast Guard. I was accustomed to random port calls, Alchohol, and idiocy. Getting back to my roots and my writing is all because of her and now I have a bright future with a wonderful family!

    I have to say that it is wonderful to hear all of the responses to this question because it helps me feel grateful for a lot of things in my life. My friends, my career, and much more.

    The thing I am most grateful for is my son. He saved me. My life was a total wreck, I was destined to die an early death by drug overdose or violence in the middle of a drug deal. I was in prison when my son was born. If it was not for him, I would not have turned my life around.

    Here he is at his junior high graduation this year.

    Self realization. I realized that my past behaviors were not the way I wanted the world to see me. I changed myself. When the behaviors return, I am able to identify them before I act on them. I don't know if it was God. I don't know if it was maturity. I just know without the self-realization that I have learned, nothing and no one would mean nearly as much to me as they do now.

    The greatest blesssing in life is indubitably your life. You are blessed to be alive by the gracious of God and the kindness of Jesus. Without those two strong men, the world wouldn't be possible. Another blessing in life is having a strong family to stay by your side through whatever and support you in anything you do. Also, having someone that's encouraging every step of the way, never bringing negativity in your life. One more blessing is of course unconditional love for someone. My mother told me that until you have a child you will never experience the unconditional love that she of course have with me. Another blessing is having a husband, too!

    My greatest blessing in my life would be my beautiful baby sister!

    Although when compared side by side, you may notice a wide range of mature personality traits would lead you to believe that she were the older sibling ( i think its a count of her being a girl!, Lol), but she is actually two years younger than i am.

    But not only is she intelligent, mature, business and career minded, responsible, reliable, friendly and a great role model for any one in her presence, she also has a heart and love for the things and people in and around her life that can not be measured.

    I've had the genuine priviledge of watching her as she's grown, struggled, learn, adapted, failed, succeeded, and become the most amazing person she is today and continues to be!

    She reflects the perfect balance in her work, love life, family life and social life that most people would admire and aspire to in their own lives. Her personality is a perfect mixture of work hard vs play hard which allows for her to be silly and easy going when in social situations, yet serious and hard working in regards to her business.

    She displays a true courage for going beyond the stars and the strength to battle on further than the normal ideaologies of where a 26 year old girl should be in her life.

    Her presence is always warm and inviting; her ability to make those around her begin to think outside of the box carries great influence and welcomes deeply rooted respect.

    She's been the reason i've been able to turn my life around. Always believing in me, always encouraging me, always inspiring me, always motivating me. To become even half the person she is today would be the greatest accolade one could aspire to and her love and pure heart would drive you to reach the rest.

    It has always been an honor for me to introduce her wherever we may be as "my sister", but she's much more than that. She's my friend, someone i can confide in, someone i can depend on, someone i respect, someone i love.

    My greatest blessing in life
    has been knowing her.

    My greatest blessing in life is the second chance that I was given to be a true father. I had been selfish in my younger years and neglected to have a relationship with my children. They are teenagers now and I have not seen either of them since they were infants. Despite attempts to establish relationships through courts and appeals, I felt as though I had failed at something that I would be great at doing.

    Two and half years ago, my wife and I had our son. From the moment I knew that we were going to have a child, I vowed that I would do it right this time.

    My son has taught me so much about life and love. He has shown me that I need nothing more than love and having him has encouraged me to go on to finish my education, start a business, and become a much easier person to be around.

    For sure, my kids, especially after I almost died with the last one. I am so lucky to be here.....I went against my doctor's wishes - he told me to terminate the pregnancy in my fifth month because I would not survive the delivery - but I prayed and trusted in God. My baby made it through alive and even though I am not in the best of health behind that, I think it was definitely worth it and would do it all again!
