‘Count Your Blessings’ App Encourages Gratitude

Source: Christian Post

The Christian Aid organization is releasing a new phone application for the Lenten season.

Count Your Blessings is meant to help believers and users practice gratitude throughout the Lenten season, which begins on Feb. 22.

“As economic and political troubles increase around the world, many of us forget just how much we ourselves have to be thankful for,” former Bishop of Durham Professor Tom Wright explained.

“Count your blessings is a great way of using the discipline of Lent to remind ourselves of just how fortunate we are, and of the very practical ways in which we can share our blessings with those in greatest need,” Wright added.

Alex Connell wrote the software program, and stated, “What I liked about this app is the unique approach of making people think about who it is they’re helping via donations, telling them how Christian Aid will support them, and making us realize how lucky we are to live the way we do. It’s good to know code I’ve written might help improve or even save lives.”
