the LORD has set a king over you.

1.  If you fear the LORD and

2.  serve and

3.  obey him and

4.  do not rebel against his commands, and

5.  if both you and the king who reigns over you follow the LORD your God –

End:

good!”

Looking for Something that Really Works?

Yesterday when looking into a shop window here in KAITAIA, I discovered two small decorative objects which said:

“COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS”.

And how glad I am that I did see those ornaments.

Today I opened the hymn book  called REDEMPTION HYMNS (“Changeless Truth for Changing Times”), and I did find the hymn “When upon life’s journey you are tempest tossed, …” in that book with the refrain which begins with the words:

“COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS NAME THEM ONE BY ONE.”

(The hymn is by Johnson Outman Jr.)

I want to do that. I started doing that. I intend to really concentrate on doing that.

The finishing line of the chorus says:wernerweb-150x150

“AND IT WILL SURPRISE YOU WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE.”

I am surprised already and counting my blessings REALLY WORKS.

Please “COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS”.

Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is  man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.” – Nelson Mandela
