I like to say, “Let us throw our stones far enough.”

What do I mean by that? I mean that we should go to the source.

I experienced lately that I forget to do that myself.

Quite a long time ago now I saw written “COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS” on something in a shop and I bought it.

It makes actually a good present for somebody.

“COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS”

For a long time “COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS” was standing in one of our rooms.

When I read it I was reminded to count my blessings. It surely is good to count our blessings. And there are many. But it is also good to be thankful for all the blessings. It is good to practice to be thankful.

But D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones reminded me not only to count my blessings and be thankful for my blessings.

In his book GOD’S ULTIMATE PURPOSE  he says,

“The practical man is not one who runs after the blessings, but the man who considers the Source of the blessings and is in touch with that Source.”

What a reminder for all of us to throw our stones far enough.
