When upon life's billows You are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged Thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings Name them one by one,
And it will surprise you What the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings Name them one by one.
Count your blessings See what God hath done.
Count your blessings Name them one by one.
Count your many blessings See what God hath done.

Are you ever burdened With a load of care,
Does the cross seem heavy You are called to bear.
Count your many blessings Every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing As the days go by.

When you look at others With their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised You His wealth untold.
Count your many blessings Money cannot buy,
Your reward in heaven Nor your home on high.

So amid the conflict Whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged God is over all.
Count your many blessings Angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you To your journey's end.

Psalm 69:30: I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

Everyone knows how to be grateful yet not everyone made gratitude to be part of their living even though they are aware about the power of gratitude. Those who have made gratitude to be part of their nature, will always be in the state of experiencing joy.

Gratitude can lead to happiness, because happiness is a state of being. You can only feel happy if you choose to be happy. Happiness is not about wanting the things that you want. Happiness is about wanting the things that you have. You can do that easily if you start being grateful for things that you have possessed in your life.

If you ever feel not good, remind yourself that you are part of the Universe and be grateful for every circumstance that arises to you. It is there to lead you to something better or something you been wanting. You do not know, anything can take place right on the next moment of your life. Your life will totally change once you start realizing on that.

So, go ahead and start your day by making gratitude part of your attitude. You will be really surprised with the result. It not only will make you feel good but will also bring to you more circumstances for you to be grateful.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. - Oprah Winfrey

When the power of love
Replaces the love of power
Man will have a new name: God.

A moment's love
Can and shall
Make the world perfect.

My Lord,
Do teach me only one thing:
How to love the world
The way You love me.

When my peace - heart dreams,
My bliss life sings.

Yesterday I was clever.
That is why I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise.
That is why I am changing myself.

Sri Chinmoy
