Today I just want to Count my Blessings.

Last night before I went to bed I was feeling discouraged.
It was for something very minor I may add.
I felt I was not getting enough reviews for my books although I have given away many books FREE.
I was thinking of quitting writing.
And then I thought I had no reason to be discouraged.
My life has been blessed with many wonderful opportunities.
My career in banking, though difficult at times, was a total success.
After retiring from Banking I moved into the Insurance arena and that too was a total success.
Four years ago I started writing books.
So far I have written eighteen books and they are all on AMAZON.
Some have won awards.
My life has been good but what has made it better is my family.
When I count my blessings, I count my husband, children, grandchildren, siblings, in-laws, relatives, and friends.

I cherish the memories we shared and I have referred to many wonderful times we spent together in my memoirs.
To me, Success is not what I have achieved.
Success is what my offspring have achieved.
And they have achieved much that I am proud of.
Today I just want to count my many blessings.

What better way than to share this song with my readers.

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 the Lord has done.

Refrain:
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.
[*And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.]

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings—*money cannot buy [*wealth can never buy]
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
