KNOWING WHICH BLESSING TO COUNT
Thanksgiving is a great time to count our blessings
It’s a time when our hearts should soar…
as we sit back and think about…all the things we are thankful for…
A time to put aside, for a moment at least, our fears, anxieties, and stress
A time to look back on our life…to reevaluate…to reassess.
On this my 70th Thanksgiving…as the years continue to mount…
I find the list of the blessings in my life have gotten easier to count.
I’m healthy and I’m happy…and as thankful as can be…
to be surrounded by the affection of my friends and the love of my family…
And I’m thankful for the dreams I had…the old ones and the new…
for the failed dreams that led to other dreams…which eventually came true.
And I’m thankful how I’ve come to understand
In life….what is truly paramount...
when adding up my blessings...
Is knowing which blessings to count.
