My life is full of blessings. I want to remember to never take anything I have for granted. Everything I have has been given to me by God and I give Him all the praise.
I’m Blessed My life is filled with blessings and I’m thankful for them all They each add something to my life, no matter great or small. The greatest blessing I was given, is really two not one, To know the joy of caring for a daughter and a son. I’m blessed with joy and laughter so I always try to smile And spread a little sunshine to make a day worthwhile. I’m blessed with wealth abundantly, but not the kind you spend, The kind that comes from God’s own heart, He is my greatest friend. I’m blessed with many friendships, I’ve had throughout the years We share our joys and sorrows, with laughter and with tears. I’m blessed with parents so divine, no greater love could be Than a parent for a child, they’d give their life for me I’m blessed with health and with a job, God supplies my every need He fills each one before I ask, I don’t have to beg or plead I’m blessed with a home to call my own and a place to lay my head. God keeps me safe and keeps me warm and keeps my body fed. I’m blessed with a love for animals, God made each one with care Like us, they have a purpose here, God’s beauty they declare. My life is filled with blessings, and I don’t deserve a one They really belong to Jesus, God’s one and only Son. He hung upon that wooden cross and shed His blood for me I’m blessed because of the love He had, He died to set me free.

Beautiful poem.I wish everybody in this world would feel that way about their own lives the way that you express it in this poem.The last 2 lines of the first stanza,I am that way myself.There is nothing in this world that makes me happy then to make other people happy.For example,every Saturday I would go to the barbershop and I would wait patiently for it to be open.Some people would walk pass by and say good morning to me.Whenever they don't see me standing outside the barbershop in the mornings,they would ask what happen to me or say that they didn't see me.Its a good feeling that people would care about me in that type of way even though I don't know them half of my life.

I told someone that every single day,I enjoy my life as if it was my birthday.With everything going in this world and in the news,people should be more grateful for the things they have instead of complaining about the things they don't have.I know its tough and difficult,but people should appreciate the littliest things.Thank you for sharing your heart,soul and passion for life in your works.It is greatly appreciated :-)
