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**
