Today I am Counting ... BLESSINGS!

Greetings, Dear Ones!

Today, I am

Counting Blessings!

I awoke this morning and thought

“What a blessing!”

I looked at the sunrise and thought

“What a blessing!”

And then as I started my busy day,

It dawned on me and I thought to myself

“I’ve got a lot to be thankful for so I know I should 

be counting blessings!”

I sat down for a little while and did a short review

Yes, of course, there were blessings to count

And more than just a few!

Blessing No. 1 - I’d awakened today

Blessing No. 2 - I was healthy

Blessing No. 3 - inside the cupboard door

Blessing No. 4 - I was wealthy

I cast around inside my life

Looking for blessings to count

And as I concentrated on this

The blessings started to mount!

Blessing No. 5 - is hands that could work

Blessing No. 6 - seeing eyes

Blessing No. 7 - is ears to hear

Blessing No. 8 - I’m alive!

I thought some more and realized

So far I’d thought just of me

I’d not even touched on family and friends

Counting blessings could take at least a week!

I knew I’d never complete the task

Of counting the blessings that I had received

So I just gave up this impossible task

And instead thanked God on my knees!

As I got up from giving thanks

I vowed to count blessings each day

Even though the blessings are infinite

At least I can say “Thank YOU!” when I pray!**BJC**
