The friar stood before his students that day to give a lecture on offering thanks to God. He said but a few words, "Count your blessings.....one by one." Then he turned and walked out, leaving his students there to contemplate his words and await his return. It was two hours later that the friar returned.
Even two hours is not enough time to count all the blessings that God has given us. Yet, I wonder if I'd have been able to fill the full two hours with an item-by-item list of my blessings. I must admit that, even on this day of thanks, there are tears being shed for things that seem absent or undeserved.
TV~ (Today's Verse)
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. [Psalm 116:7]
