[Poem] Hidden Blessings

September 8, 2009

This is one of my all time favourite poems! I hope you find it a blessing as well. =)

We always seem to find the time
To grumble and complain,
To think of all our troubles,
Our sorrows and our pain.

Yet if we would but stop and think,
I'm sure we would be glad
If we counted all the troubles
That we never had.

The loved ones we still have with us;
Our house that didn't burn;
Our automobile that wasn't wrecked;
The money we still earn.

When we're counting all our blessings
God gives us by His grace,
Let's think today of all the trials
We were not asked to face.
