Spiritual Sunday: Count Your Blessings

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;

Count on God instead of yourself.

I'm linking up with Charlotte and Ginger's Spiritual Sundays today. Please visit their blog for some great spiritual food!






Speaking of great spiritual food, I want invite you to visit a new daily devotions blog called Faithful Rubies. Join Alexis, beginning March 1, as she provides encouragement, inspiration, and resources for fellow Christians and homeschool families.


Thanks for stopping by!
