Nothing says thanksgiving better to me than the words of a beautiful hymn that we do not have in our hymnal. I am going to share some of these words without sharing all of the verses and my prayer is that you will allow these words to give your encouragement and a good reason to be thankful every day that you live.
“When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings, money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
Refrain:
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done.”
CCLI 2693811
The other two verses are just as rich with meaning. May all of you have a very blessed and happy Thanksgiving as you count your many blessings.
