Count your blessings.

It’s hard to be thankful when nothing is going right in your life.  I know that God is faithful.  He’s our guard and protector from the evil things of this world.  

God's plans and His timing are always perfect.  I have so many things to be thankful for. I have so many blessings poured out to me every day.  I have a family, a home, a job and friends.  I can go to Church without being persecuted, and I can praise God openly and not worry about being shot or ridiculed for my faith.

 I do thank God each day for my blessings.  Friends, God is so merciful to His children.  He wants to give us all the riches of Glory.  He wants us to have a happy joy-filled life.  

 What He’s most impressed with is that we acknowledge our blessings, even in the midst of tragedies. That’s true faith and perseverance. 

2 Thessalonians 3:3 – “But the Lord is faithful.  He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.”
