The Event ~ Counting My Blessings

Aunt Edna sings a song to the tune of "Count Your Blessings".  It goes something like this.

Hello, everyone, you are looking great!
You don't look a minute over 98.
What do you have to show for all your sweat and tears
And the joy and laughter of the many years?

Count your wrinkles, name them one by one
Counting all your wrinkles can be lots of fun.
Don't you pity ladies who have none.
Count your many wrinkles, see what time has done!


My loving husband
Well, my wrinkles are few, my joy and laughter abundant, my sweat and tears have been significant and many, health and happiness ~ amazing!  My blessings ~ overflowing!

Counting blessings and giving thanks in all things should be a daily event ~ an eventful time of praise and thanksgiving.  Giving thanks should  acknowldge the creator from whom all these blessings flow.  Thank you, God, for abundant blessings!
Beauty of God's creation
