The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.
Eric Hoffer
When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep.
Irving Berlin
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.
Author Unknown Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.
Og Mandino Gratitude is an opener of locked-up blessings.
Marianne Williamson Counting our blessings can transform melancholy into cheerful mass; laughter and joy are expressions of praise and thanksgiving for life's glories. When looking at the glass that symbolizes our life, we can view it as half full or half empty. The choice is ours... The more joyful we are, the more attractive we become. When we feel gratitude for our experiences, it becomes easier to see the good that always exists. When we give a smile to someone else, we are likely to receive one in return, and that smile reflects a happy heart that is open and receptive to what the good life has in store.
John Marks Templeton Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some.
Charles Dickens Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force.
Ralph Marston First of all that I would crave as the richest of heaven's blessings would be wisdom from my Heavenly Father bestowed daily.
Emma Hale Smith Some wish blessings, others pray for them. Some send blessings and they become one.
Joyce C. Lock Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.
Hamilton Wright Mabie There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross We need deliberately to call to mind the joys of our journey. Perhaps we should try to write down the blessings of one day. We might begin; we could never end; there are not pens or paper enough in all the world.
George A. Buttrick Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.
Harold Coffin Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.
W. T. Purkiser Men are slower to recognize blessings than evils.
Titus Livius Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayers and worn with thanks.
Thomas Goodwin When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.
Willie Nelson
