Blessings

by Dr Willis Lay

As I look back days, weeks, months and years

I am overcome by my blessings

A blessing - a divine gift from Christ

Something I do not know for sure that I deserve

But I can do everything I can going forward

To make sure that I do deserve those divine gifts

But I do not look at blessings purely in terms of divine gifts

I also see the bad things that come up from time to time

And I see those as blessings as well

Blessings in the form of a divine lesson

I have more to learn

Because Christ has more to teach me

But never should we get lost in the ups and downs

The ups and downs are both a part of Christ's plan

And as long as we know that we are living out Christ's plan

And stick to the path that has been chosen for us

Then the good and the bad no longer bring me up nor down

Because I am blessed either way
