Count your blessings!!!!

Good morning to all you disciplines of Christ Jesus!! May you have grace and peace. What has happened and will happen in you life???? In the late 1800's a hymn written by Johnson Oatman Jr...."When upon Life's Billows" is a very encouraging hymn. However, we know it better as "Count your Blessings." If we take time to count our blessings, dwell on them, rather than on the dismal things, we will be happier and realize why we have life and what we are living for.
We just need to stop, be still, and see how God has touched you life each and every day, hour, moment. Many times we let the everyday items take over and forget who all we are and all we have belongs to.....GOD!!!
Try this today: Choose to smile more often; Recognize the little things in life that bring you joy; Be happy for others when good things happen to them; Expect to find the silver lining and the pot of gold; Be a positive-thinking person; Thank God for what He has done, and is doing in your life; Believe that God can turn any negative into a positive.
Take time today to do 1 little thing. Write or email a friend or family and thank them for being in your life; Help a family member or co-worker; Thank God for who you are, what you are, where you have been, and where you are going!!
Psalm 136:2 "Thank the God of all gods, his love never quits."
Psalm 50:1 "Offer to God thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High?"
Thank you for reading. Thank you for being my friend. May you be blessed more today than ever before. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
