\"bible.jpg\"Count your blessings instead of your crosses;<\/p>\n

\n

Count your gains instead of your losses.
\nCount your joys instead of your woes;
\nCount your friends instead of your foes.
\nCount your smiles instead of your tears;
\nCount your courage instead of your fears.
\nCount your full years instead of your lean;
\nCount your kind deeds instead of your mean.
\nCount your health instead of your wealth;
\nCount on Jesus instead of yourself.
\nGlory to His Wonderful Name!<\/p>\n

“Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done.” – 1 Chronicles 16:8<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
