Poetry How do I start my day?

What a way to start the day.
Did I start today?
With a groan and complaint?
Growling through the day.
Or did I start with
Blessings and Praise,
With God’s Word open,
Letting the Holy Spirit speak into my life?

Starting my day with peace, and hope, and light.

I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders.
I will rejoice and be jubilant in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.—Psalms 9:1-2 (NASB 2020)

Poetry Count the Blessings

Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endures forever. —Psalm 136:1

We look before and after,
And desire what we have not;
Instead of being thankful,
For all that we have got....
Loving family, caring friends,
To support and lend an ear:
But most of all for the Savior,
Who is always near.

Help me Lord, count my many blessings, and be content with what I do have...you. Amen.
