BLESSINGS

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged thinking all is lost.
Count your many blessings name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what they Lord has done.

Count your blessings name them one by one,
Count your blessings see what God has done.
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings see what God has done.

I have many things that I am thankful for:
Dan--he's a wonderful husband and friend!
Family

Priesthood Power

I CHALLENGE each of you to make your own list of 100 BLESSINGS. It's pretty easy to do--in a short time I've written 36 on this blog, you can do it, too. Then when you are down or discouraged, take a look at your list. It will put a smile on your face and you will realize that you are loved and have a lot to be grateful for. Or you can start a daily journal of GRATITUDE and write down 5 things that you are grateful for each day.

HAVE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE!
