Counting my blessings!

There is a song I remember singing in church as a little girl titled: Count your Blessings
Although the verses are written for someone dealing with discouragement and dispair the chorus goes like this:

Count your blessings, 
Name them one by one 
Count your many blessings, 
See what God has done 
Count your blessings, 
Name them one by one 
Count your many blessings, 
See what God has done. 



Today, as Hunter and I walked along the LBJ Lake here in Marble Falls, Texas and enjoyed the warm breezes and 75 degree temps. my mind was filled with the words of this hymn. God has so richly blessed me with; access to His Word, good friends, a loving extended family, health, a happy marriage, children walking with the Lord while raising godly families, & the excitement of three new grandbabies coming this year that I could have almost "broke out in song". I didn't, thankfully for those who might have to hear my off key tones! 

It is good for each of us to daily count our blessings and attribute them to the Lord. Yours will not be the same as mine but each of us has them. 

Blessed be the name of the Lord!
