Day #95 - A Reminder

In church today we sang "Count Your Blesings." It was a great reminder to me of why I am sharing daily gratitude.

Here are the words:

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
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,
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.

Refrain

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 buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

Refrain

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Refrain

I believe that there is real power in expressing gratitude. In the past I have felt happy despite challenges. But with trials and challenges that have come into my life over the past few years, I have struggled to remain positive. Looking for the silver lining in my days and counting my blessings has been a great help to me personally. Thank you to those who read. Your patience is appreciated.
