Three Times Blessed?

Traveling to Winston on the Greyhound today I saw a license plate that made me do a double take, There was nothing funny or silly about it, but it blessed my heart greatly as I pondered on it. The license plates said "3XBLESD" which I interpreted as they were Three times blessed, And I began to think of all my blessings, and wondered what number I should be using. I've been so blessed it's impossible to count my needs are met, I even get some of my wants, My health is good, I've never had surgery The only diagnosis I've had was pregnancy, So my trips to the hospital was just for giving birth, and I don't think I can number my blessings worth. My Children and Grand Children they are a handsome bunch, Been blessed to see my Great-Grand I know that was a plus, Limbs are in working order and my senses are in tact, I'm still counting my blessings by presenting these facts. The greatest of these blessings Is that I'm not dead, pulse is racing, heart is beating I've still got my head, So what number can I use to measure my blessings? After all these things I mentioned I'll never stop counting.
