"Count your many blessings, name them one by one,And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Refrain:Count your blessings, name them one by one,Count your blessings, see what God hath done!Count your blessings, name them one by one,*Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.[*And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.]
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,And you will keep singing as the days go by.
When you look at others with their lands and gold,Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;Count your many blessings—wealth can never buyYour reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
So, amid the conflict whether great or small,Do not be discouraged, God is over all;Count your many blessings, angels will attend,Help and comfort give you to you till your journey's end. "
Lately, I've been intentionally viewing life with an "attitude of gratitude"... trying to do that in my circumstances, my relationships, my words and my actions. This weekend, I was shaken quite a bit by something way beyond my control. Panic begin to set in....thankfully for me, I knew to reach out to a few and let their encouragement lift me up...I did just that, I reached out - and true to form, they encouraged. Panic gave way to prayer.
And this morning, I woke up with this hymn playing in my soul and my mind. A wonderful reminder that I am truly a blessed individual.
Today I am thankful for:
1. My Lord....who who always good and faithful.
2. My prayer warriors and encouragers....may we always continue to be there for one another!
3. My blessings....which are truly overflowing.
