Thanks God!

Mom and I were just heading out the door to go into town and hopped into the van when it suddenly wouldn't start. Rats. We've just got it back from a two month long visit to the shop and now this???? We were out there for a good ten, fifteen minutes, calling my dad, trying it again, waiting, trying it again...nothing. "Why us God??" I kept asking myself. "Will we ever have a vehicle that runs properly??"
I finally got bored and came inside. While walking through the door, I spied a hymn book on the piano opened up to a song. I read the title: Count Your Blessings.
WOW!!! It was almost overwhelming the way God showed me that we HAVE more than one vehicle, we WEREN'T on the highway and it somehow shut off!!
I really enjoy how God shows us our follies.
Thanks God.


When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Mount your many blessings; name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
