Most of us don't have to look too far to know just how many blessings we have. God gives us many gifts to enjoy: family, friends, health, wealth and the list just goes on and on...
But from time to time we get in one of those pity me moods (we all have them) and for a moment we forget about the little blessings in life that God gives us every day. He doesn't change who He is at any time. When we are feeling down and depressed, we just need to count our blessings.
"I'm Just Gonna Count My Blessings"
I looked around the other day, down trodden and alone,
Wondering where my happiness went, it seemed twas all but gone.
I couldn't think of any one thing, that even made me smile,
So I decided to take some quiet time and think for a little while.
And to my surprise as I sat and thought, I began to count,
The things that God has given me and the blessings began to mount.
One by one they came to me, little hidden things,
I take for granted every day, but oh what joy it brings.
From that day on I decided, the next time I'm depressing,
I'm gonna stop and think a while and recount all my blessings.
