Count your blessings

[paulnoel]

Take an empty glass jar (jam, coffee, whatever). You might want to decorate it and make it a thing of beauty. Keep it on your window ledge, office desk, kitchen top, or wherever you spend a lot of time.

When something good or unexpected happens, write it on a scrap of paper and drop it in the jar. Then, when you're having a bad day and the world seems especially unfriendly, tip out your jar and read your slips of paper. Then you can literally count your blessings.

Don't forget to thank God for them.

Hi.

Thanks for sharing this.

I will try it soon.


This reminds me of a children's song...

"Count your blessings,
Count them 1 by 1,
Count your blessings,
See what God has done.

Count your blessings,
Count them 2 by 2,
Count your blessings,
See what God can do for you." (I may have added)

 

[LifeInChrist]

Its a good suggestion bro.

The Psalmist also counted his blessings in times of adversity for encouragement according to the below verse -

Psalms 77:11,12 - I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

Lord bless you.

Amen to that my friend
We are indeed to count our blessings
Both big and small!

Cound our blessings and
Name them one by one!
