Count your blessings...

Count Your Blessings
Ephesians 1:3
Words by Johnson Oatman, Jr., 1856-1922
Music by Edwin O. Excell, 1851-1921
Verse 1
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.

Chorus:
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 many blessings See what God hath done. (Read on)

"Your children are not your children..."

Another Kahlil Gibran poem:

On Children

Your children are not your children.

They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. (read on)

And a woman spoke, saying, "Tell us of Pain." (Read on under comments)
