Count Your Blessings

  This morning I remembered a hymn we used to sing in school. Our teacher would first sing and then we all followed suit dutifully, repeating each line after her. I had no idea why she taught us this song, or any other song for that matter. But I did enjoy the singing lessons. Once we learned the song, we sang it many more times in the school assembly during morning prayers.We used to know the words by heart. But never even once did I stop to think about the words and what they meant. Reason could be that I was too small then, perhaps in the 3rd or 4th grade. For some reason I started humming the song this morning. I hardly remembered the lines, but the two that I had not forgotten were:
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God has done!
  I suddenly wanted to recall all the lines and remember how the whole song sounded. And thanks to You-tube I found it and listened to it after many years.

  Now as an adult I know why my teacher taught me that song. And I believe its enough to remember just those two lines. And yes I have learned to count my blessings, and there are many of them.
