Everything, part 1

Everything was

pretty much perfect.

Hit the pause button with me.

Pull over and adjust the rearview mirror.

Do what this old song says —

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost
Count your many blessings name them one by one
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done

Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your blessings, see what God hath done
Count your blessings, name them one by one
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done

— Do what that old song says, and you’ll be amazed at how long of a list you have.

Let’s pick up right there tomorrow.

For now, join me in naming and counting.
