List Your Blessings


Have you ever taken the time
To stop and list your blessings
Just to sit down and list
All the good things in your life
But sometimes we forget
To think about the blessings
We tend to focus more
On the things that bring us strife

If we'd only take the time
To list some of our blessings
The things that God does for us
Each and everyday
I think we'd be more thankful
If we thought about the blessings
And forgot some of the bad things
That may have come our way

The greatest blessing in our life
Is to know Jesus as our Saviour
To feel His presence with us
All throughout the day
To know that He is there
Regardless of our problems
To know that He is always
Just a prayer away

One of life's greatest blessing
Is to have a loving family
People you can count on
To support you all the time
People who are always there
To help in time of trouble
There in times of sorrow
To help ease your troubled mind

We can also be thankful
For the beauty all around us
For the very air we breathe
Even for the birds that fly
In this world His works displayed
Can bring us so much pleasure
If we start to list our blessings
There will be no need to cry.
