Counting Your Blessings

Dear Lord; Last night, my family settled in to watch our favorite Christmas Movie…White Christmas.  What a wonderful film that is!  No matter how many times I watch it, I still end up with a huge smile on my face and find myself singing the songs for days afterwards.  In the movie, my favorite song by far is “Count Your Blessings” sung by Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney.

Listening to that wonderful music last night, it dawned on me that there’s a great deal of wisdom in those lyrics.  As I discussed in yesterday’s correspondence Father, there seems to be a lot of Your Children who are feeling very overburdened and lost at the moment.  If along with laying those fears and doubts at the Foot of the Cross, we spend our time rejoicing and giving thanks for the Blessings You’ve bestowed on us, we’d all be closer in our walk with You.  Thank You Lord, for all the Blessings both obvious and unseen that surround us all.

“So if you’re worried and you can’t sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you’ll fall asleep counting your blessings.”

Amen.  ~Phather Phil
