Count your blessings
Name them one by one
Count your blessings
See what God has done
Count your blessings
Name them one by one
And it will surprise you
What the Lord has done.
Who was singing along there? I couldn’t even write it without singing!
This morning I want to encourage you to be thankful as you start your day. We have so much to be thankful for - even in the midst of this pandemic.
"From his abundance we have all received
one gracious blessing after another."
John 1:16 NLT
God has given us so much and we need to take the time to thank Him. Truly. From the bottom of our hearts.
So think about some of the physical blessings in your life right now - a house to live in, a job, a car, enough food to eat...
Think about some of the emotional blessings from yesterday - a conversation that brought you joy; that one message that made you smile or laugh out loud; that phone call that reminded you how much you are loved...
And remember all the spiritual blessings we have been given - grace, mercy, salvation, love, belonging, faith, redemption...
And if you aren’t sure what some of those are, look them up and you truly will be surprised by what the Lord has done for you.
