Count our blessings

They are there, but many times we fail to see them
because we tend to be overwhelmed by the mayhem
They are there, but many times we are blinded
because of the struggles by which we are blindsided
They are there, but many times they are ignored
because the circumstances have us feeling gored
They are there, but many times our thoughts are shot
because the situation seems to be taking all we've got

Let us start now and begin to count them
we will see in each pain there is a gem
And many too, more than we would have thought
because in God's plans we are never an afterthought
Never be afraid to count your blessings daily
and express your gratitude to him sincerely
For we are blessed beyond measure because of his Son
in whose life we are hidden and securely stand on.
