Blessings

"What if you woke up today with ONLY the things you thanked God for yesterday."  Quotes like this should make a person stop and think.  We have so many blessing every day; some we don't even realize.  How many do you thank God for at the end of the day?    

Why Me?

 I counted once, then counted twice;

What was this in black and white?

I simply had to count them thrice;

The blessings I can recite. 

How could it be! What could I say?

They’re not deserved!

Too many I counted this day;

The blessings that I observed.

I cannot explain;

I don’t know why!

It muddled my brain,

The blessings I cannot deny.

Those blessings I counted thrice;

They overwhelmed me,

So I recounted to be precise;

Then stood in amazement and glee.

 No rhyme or reason could be found.

Why me Lord? I don't deserve a single one-

All those blessing on which I expound.

There is nothing that I have done.

It puts my soul in bliss,

To have the blessings you have bestowed.

Please let me not be remiss

To give you the praise as I travel this road.

The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.  Proverbs 10:22
