The Blessings Box
By George Thurlow
©️ 1/8/22
As I was praising Father
For a blessing received today
Joy leapt in my spirit
For all His blessings every day.
Then I thought of the hymn
That is so often sung,
“Count your blessings
Name them one by one”
Then suddenly it came to mind….
Create a “Blessing Box”
What wonderful things
God’s done for me
They are to be forever treasured
For His goodness and mercies
Towards me can not be measured.
So starting today I decided
To daily jot them down
At the end of the year review them
As the old year winds down.
This box of blessings for encouragement
On some day I might be low
And to serve as a reminder
Of how much God loves me so.
To serve as testimony
And as a witness to His grace
For a brother or a sister
In some trouble that they face.
I will daily record my blessings
“I will name them one by one”
At the end of the year rejoice
Over “what the Lord has done.”
