Psalm 103:2 “Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His blessings.”

The chorus of this famous old Hymn goes like this – “Count your blessings; name them one by one. Count your blessings; see what God has done.” This speaks of the very goodness of the Lord experienced in the many gifts & favor He blesses us with on a daily basis… but many times they escape our attention. It’s not that we’re ungrateful for God’s grace & mercy, it’s just we are so taken up in the chaos & turmoil of caring for a very sick loved one that we don’t even realize what God is doing… until we stop, and very consciously thank Him for what we’ve failed to see. And as we sit quietly for a moment and recall the day, God is faithful, and all those blessings will come flooding back into our mind…all the good things we didn’t deserve, and all the things God spared us from. And then again we can praise Him for what He has done.
