I love this kelli!

i was counting my blessings today as i walked, and like you, i just got tired of naming them, there were so many...and i thought - i've got to get around to praying for my friends :o)

breathing, being able to walk, to see, to hear, my family, my friends, my health, my sweet Jesus, the sun on my face, the fresh snowfall, and on and on.

thanks for your poem. you are inspiring!

Great poem Kelli...Today I heard a story, about a pastor of a small congregation. This elderly preacher always had a sunny disposition. He was never without a good word, and a spirit of thanksgiving for the Lords blessings.

One Sunday morning was a particularly gloomy day. It was raining, and a very cold wind was blowing. In a word it was miserable.

As the good people of the small church, entered the building, and found their seats. Some of them thought, what could the old pastor possibly be grateful for on a day like this.

Finally the clergyman stepped up to the podium. He looked at his little flock, smiled and said let us pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you oh Lord, that every day is not like today.

.....I thought tis was cute. Plus it shows if we really look, we can see a blessing in most every thing.

K, as I read your poem, a God trembling came over me. That is a good thing. That is one way I often feel His Presence. That says it all about the inspiration you desired to pass on to us.

Thank you all for your kind words. We are blessed to have yet another day to give glory to God. Have a beautiful day, Kelli

Kelli,

Thank you for sharing your poem. It is inspiring and thought provoking. I know that I am not always thinking of my blessings, instead I'm thinking of my worries. I agree that we should count our blessings each day and we will be surprised at how many each of us has.

One of my blessings is this group of people in this group. This group continues to touch me spiritally and mentally.
