I am thankful for a little rain and showers of blessings!

Thankful for His Presence!

I am thankful today because God is always there with His mercy and love. I think of the words to the song, “Now, Thank We all Our God.” I can look over my life and say, “Yes! He has blessed me on my way ‘with countless gifts of love’ and He still is mine today!” I love His Presence. I am not perfect, but I have hope. I see that I am growing, learning and improving! I love Him more and see that He is everything. I enjoy experiencing life every day with Him! No matter what I am going through, life is so much better with Him! That this is what life with God is all about for each of us is awesome! Here is a beautiful version of the song, "Now, Thank We all Our God."

Counting Blessings Instead of Sheep

When I really need to sleep at night and I am awake, I can think of the little song that says "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep." I certainly never count sheep until sleep comes, but I can think of all the good things God has done for me in my life and especially in the day just past instead of thinking of regrets and the negative things that always happen. The quiet hours of night are meant to rebuild us for the coming day, and resting in the dark is a blessing even if sleep doesn't come!

Here is a classic version of this little "Count Your Blessings" song sung by Bing Crosby.
