Count Your Blessings

Joy
Our neighbor's laundry, spread across the ground to dry in the sun. The shack in the background is their chicken house.

Sometimes our blessings we forget, counting we ignore.

Take a moment to reflect; you’ll discover you have more…

You have more than many in this world, much more than you deserve,

So, make time to thank the One who gave, and then go out and serve.

  2. hey mrs. joy!
    your blog is so pretty! it’s my first time being on your new one and i’m following ya. 🙂
    what a beautiful reminder that i feel i need to hear daily {i wish it wasn’t so}. so often i forget. but when i do count the gifts, it brightens my day! 🙂

  3. Thank you so much for the reminder! Sometimes it’s easy to forget, but we shouldn’t. 🙂

  4. Barbara, I don’t have a Jennifer, but I do have a Lindsey. 🙂 She’s definitely a bright spot in my day. 🙂

  6. I don’t think we, in America, truly understand how blessed we are and even many who consider themselves poor are rich compared to those in other countries. All the things we take for granted every day….. thanks for sharing and bringing us some perspective.

  7. Joy, really look forward to your posts. I put Jennifer’s on my blog list also. She is quite a kid!
