Talk about your blessings more than you talk about your burdens.
I’m blessed, because of my faith, that I don’t have to worry about the future because I know who holds my future.

Life’s Blessed Gifts (Haiku Series #106)
Welcoming Sound
Hearing little feet
Lasting gifts of family—
Blessed grandchildren
Maturity
Impatient in youth
Tempered by life’s long journey—
With age comes patience
Blessing
Quiet morning hour
Quality productive time—
Confidence and peace
Billy Graham Quote
Think of the blessings we so easily take for granted: Life itself; preservation from danger; every bit of healthy we enjoy; every hour of liberty; the ability to see, to hear, to speak, to think, and to imagine all this comes from the hand of God.
From 2 Corinthians 9:7: “Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
Countless Blessings
Psalm 106:1: “Praise the Lord! O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever.”

Life’s journey hurries along
Blessed with joy and a song
We forget who blesses us each day
Our mighty God molds us like clay
God crafts His creation with love
Offering His blessings from above
Rising from a cold, darkened tomb
Christ restores light to every room
Christ extends the bread of life
Filled with Spirit, no more strife
The Enemy hides, ready to harm and take
Christ’s way conquers, with love He makes
The Son of Man submits to our Holy Lord
Christ pays the ransom, so climb aboard
Be gracious with everything we have
God, family, home, and love—be glad
Life’s possessions are meager, they are
For God’s blessings will carry us, truly far
Pause and consider, take a knee and bow
Praise God for infinite blessings, do it now
Psalm 29:11: May the Lord give strength to His people! May the Lord bless His people with peace.”
Running in Life’s Marathon

Some equate dealing with this life to running a race
Of course, sometimes we pause and turnabout face
Wise people say, “Persistent and steady wins the race”
Better than hurrying to eat dinner without saying grace
Others encourage with, “Hurry up and build it now”
Oh my! Can’t one stop to relax and take a bow?
Another calls out, “Experience it today works best”
What about using tomorrow—no worries one jests!
All of the above wisdom may be honest and true
But God will wait patiently until we are all through
We are all imperfections in God’s all-seeing eyes
Life will bring new challenges as each year flies
There is always another hill to climb so we can see
The greener grass sometimes turns brown for thee
Life throws “stuff” along our way, not always good
Sometimes we lack courage to go when we should
It is time to finish the big race and succeed
Anything less sells us short of our final deed
All should count their blessings—so many
God fills us up with much joy for all and any
Life’s journey seems like a marathon run
Take it one day at a time, enjoy the fun!
