Counting My Blessings And Still Going Strong..

This is what I do, when I am down in the dumps or struggling to be joyful. I count my blessings and actually name them one by one! And I am so amazed at the immensity of things I get to be thankful for! What a blessing indeed!

When it comes to being thankful, let’s keep in mind unto whom we are thankful. It’s not to chance or mere luck that I have received blessing upon blessing. It is to God alone I owe my thanks!

He is the Author and Sustainer of all life! He holds my life and knows the end from the beginning. Unto Him alone, I give thanks!

Yes, I will be thankful for all the people who come my way. But, again it is to God I ultimately give my thanks, as it is by His will that people become a blessing to me.

So, where do I begin?

   

I will sing Psalm 103 1:-5

"Bless the LORD, O my soul,
   and all that is within me,
   bless his holy name!
  

Bless the LORD, O my soul,
   and forget not all his benefits,
 who forgives all your iniquity,
   who heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit,
   who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

who satisfies you with good
   so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
