Counting your blessings is good - it makes you stop and be thankful and also puts in perspective the minor irritations and niggles of life. God is so good and so kind to us all. I hope that in reading my list you have been able to add blessings of your own. Let us never stop being deeply grateful for every good and perfect gift which comes to us from the Father of lights.
