Let all that I am praise the Lord;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.
Psalm 103:2 (NLT)
One of the women in my Bible study sent this to me, and I want to share it with all of you today. We have recently celebrated Thanksgiving and are entering the Christmas season. This is an excellent reminder to all of us to be thankful for all that God has done for us.
Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.
