Count your blessings Instead of your crosses; Count your gains Instead of your losses; Count your joys Instead of your woes; Count your friends Instead of your foes; Count your smiles Instead of your tears; Count your courage Instead of your fears; Count your full years Instead of your lean; Count your kind deeds Instead of your mean; Count your health Instead of your wealth; Count on God Instead of yourself! This is a great poem! When we are going through trials or hard times or are just having a bad day, this is a great poem to remember! We need to count our blessings, gains, joys, friends, smiles, courage, full years, kind deeds, health, and count on God. We need to be thankful. We can always be thankful, even if it's just for the little things in life! God gives us so many blessings and gifts. If you have food and shelter; family and friends; clothes and shoes; health and good memories; and most importantly salvation through Jesus Christ; you can ALWAYS be thankful! I have reason to be thankful because I have health and food and shelter and family and friends! I live in the United States where I have freedom! I have salvation through Christ! I have many things to be thankful for. Even if God hasn't answered all my prayers, I can be thankful! Even during this confusing time, I can be thankful! So as we go through this uncertain time and struggle through life remember to count your blessings! |
Wonderful poem and wonderful thoughts! You are so right, we have SO MUCH to be thankful for! Salvation alone is a GIFT that we can be endlessly thankful for! I am so thankful for you! And all your beautiful sisters!
