Sleepless Nights

Sleepless Nights, I have trouble at night and don't sleep very well. The doctor gave me, funny colored little pills. Life gave me, counting sheep one by one. The bible gave me, counting my blessings one by one. WOW!!! counting blessings really works.

I'm sure the meaning of the saying ' count your blessings' is to focus on the positive and be thankful and appreciative rather than dwelling on the negative in life. There's nothing worse when it comes to trying to get to sleep than having negative thoughts and worries bounce around inside your head (not easy in 2026) so I'm all for counting blessings. Cheers - Gary

It really does! Gratitude at the top…you can be grateful for something(s) about most people and things. Corrie Ten Boom who was put a Nazi camp for helping the Jews was grateful for the fleas for it kept the guards out so her and her sis could read the Bible to others.
