Count Your Blessings

Today I stood at my window and cursed the pouring rain,

Today a desperate farmer prayed for his fields of grain

My weekend plans are ruined,

it almost makes me cry

While the farmer lifts his arms and blesses the clouded sky.

The alarm went off on Monday and I cursed my work routine,

Next door a laid-off mechanic feels

the empty pockets of his Jeans.

I can't wait for my vacation, some time to take for me,

He doesn't know tonight how he'll feed his family.

I cursed my leaky roof and the grass I need to mow,

A homeless man downtown checks

for change in the telephone.

I need a new car, mine is getting really old,

He huddles in a doorway, seeking shelter from the cold.

With blessings I'm surrounded,

the rain, a job, a home,

Though my eyes are often blinded

by the things I think I own.

GOOD MORNING !

I did have a wonderful Sunday celebration with my family. By the time we got out of church the sun peeped through. The snow we dreaded went else where and even though it was cool and windy we were able to get outside for a little egg hunt for the 3 grand’babes’ that were able to come .

For some reason, I got a lot of blurry pictures and only managed to have just a few good ones. I’ve never had that happen before so I really don’t know what happened. I just hope it doesn’t happen again.

It is Monday, already, and back to work I go.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him.

Teresa of Avila

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

MA
