COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS NAME THEM ONE BY ONE

LAST WEDNESDAY WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS, YOU KNOW THE ONES WHERE YOU JUST WANT THE DAY TO END, IT STARTED OUT ON TUESDAY NIGHT, JOSH CAME HOME FROM WORK, I CAN ALWAY'S HEAR HIM COMING IN HIS TRUCK, BUT I THOUGHT I HEARD HIS TRUCK BUT IT SOUNDED KINDA FUNNY, I OPENED THE DOOR, AND OF COURSE IT WAS JOSH, I SAID IS THAT YOUR TRUCK MAKING A FUNNY SOUND HE SAID YES, SO WEDNESDAY MORNING HE LEAVES ME WITH HIS TRUCK TO TAKE IT IN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, SO WE WAKE UP ON WEDNESDAY, I GO TO EAT MY CEREAL THE MILK IS WARM, I SAY NOT GOOD, I BRUSH IT OFF ZAK AND I GET READY TO GO GET IN THE TRUCK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF, SO I THOUGHT THAT'S GOOD, I CALL JOSH HE SAYS GO HAVE THEM CHECK IT ANYWAYS, HE NEEDED TO PICK UP A LOAD OF COWS LATER IN THE WEEK AND HE DID NOT WANT TO GET SOME WHERE AND BREAK DOWN, SO I GO IN THE GUY SAYS IT READING THAT IT'S EITHER THE CHIP, OR SOMETHING IN THE FUEL??? FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT A CHIP IS IT MAKE YOUR TRUCK FASTER, YOU GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE, OK SO THEN I HEAD TO SAM TO GET SOME STUFF JOSH CALLS SAYS TAKE IT TO ANOTHER SHOP THERE GOING TO CHECK THE FUEL INJECTIONS?? SOMETHING LIKE THAT, SO I TAKE IT IN THEY SAY EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT, O ALSO IF IT DIDN'T CHECK OUT IT WOULD OF COST 1,400, I SAID THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER, WE GO HOME I PUT ZAK DOWN FOR HIS NAP, JOSH CALLS AND SAYS YOUR CAR WOULD NOT START WE HAD TO JUMP IT, MEET ME AT THE PLANT(WHERE HE FEEDS COWS) SO I MET HIM DOWN THERE HE JUMPS IT AGAIN, AS I WAS HEADING FOR WALMART ALL I COULD DO WAS COUNT BY BLESSINGS NAMING THEM ONE BY ONE THAT WAS WHAT I WAS DOING SO I WOULD NOT CRY, WHEN I GOT TO WALMART THE KID WAS REALLY NICE HE SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE A BATTERY FOR MY CAR, HE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT WHERE I GOT IT WHICH WAS CHECKER'S I HAD NOT EVEN HAD IT FOR 2 YEARS, SO WHEN I GOT TO CHECKER'S THEY TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS SHOT, NO REALLY I DIDN'T KNOW THAT J/K BUT THEY REPLACED IT FREE, I WAS WALKING OUT THE DOOR AND SAID THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER, WHEN I GOT HOME I THOUGHT O THE FRIDGE, THEN I THOUGHT I WILL WORRY ABOUT THAT TOMORROW, BUT AS I STOP TO GO TO BED I THOUGHT OF THE DAY, AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WAS GOING WRONG,BUT THE I SAW HEAVENLY FATHERS HAND IN IT ALL, IT MADE ME THINK THAT EVERYDAY CAN NOT BE JUST RIGHT, THERE HAS TO BE DAYS LIKE THIS SO YOU CAN STOP AND COUNT YOUR BLESSING AND NAME THEM ONE BY ONE
AS I WAS GOING TO SLEEP I FELT BLESSED FOR ALL THAT I HAVE. I LOVE THIS THOUGHT DESPITE THE STRUGGLES FEARS, AND CHALLENGES THAT DAILY SURROUND US ITS GOOD TO BE HERE, ITS GOOD TO BE ALIVE, ITS GOOD TO EXPERIENCE ALL THAT LIFE OFFERS- THE GOOD THINGS AND THE BAD, THE TRIUMPHS AND THE TRAGEDIES, THE JOYS AND THE VICISSITUDES. ITS GOOD TO BE HERE EVEN WHEN ITS BAD TO BE HERE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN WE LEARN AND GROW THE MOST.
