Count Your Blessings
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. As the year draws to a close, it might be a good time to count our blessings. If we look over the year, we can attest to God’s faithfulness…. From clothes to wear, to food to eat, celebrations, victories, joy instead of sorrow… so many blessings… And He still continues to work wonders.
Primary Text:
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5v18 (KJV)
Supplementary Texts: Count Your Blessings
“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,
*Count your 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,
Thing 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.
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 your journey’s end.”
