Count your blessings

~Count Your Blessings~

When you are in trouble, do you find
that you feel you are all alone
When your heart grows heavy with
burden and you feel you can't go on
When you think you are the only one
that has this pain
Count your blessings and look around
and don't you dare complain
I complained about having no new shoes to put on my feet
I grumbled that my wages were just not enough
until I looked around and saw a blind man holding a cup
Reach out to the man who needs some help along the way
Think little more of others
and not so much of yourself
If you have two coats and a man has
none God will surely bless you
for giving him one
So count your blessings one by one and Thank God
for most precious gift of all
His Precious Son
He's there to comfort us in trouble and sorrow
if we stop and Thanks Him for all He has done.
