Christmas Blessings



You know you are Blessed:

When you feel God’s love

When you understand that the mystery of God lays in the relationship between the parent (God) and his children (all mankind)

When you learn that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ

When you are surrounded by family and friends

When you know you are forgiven

When you have a warm bed and a roof over your head at night

When you know who you are

When you follow your dreams

When you believe in magic

When you keep the heart of a child

When you take time to smell the flowers

When you hear the small voice inside and follow it

When you have your health

When you wake with a smile on your face

When you don’t have to go to bed hungry

When you can be a blessing to others

When you can sleep peacefully at night

When you when you can see the good in others

When you ….

(Please add your own ...)


Or you can do as Bing Cosby in the classic song:

Count Your Blessing (Instead of Sheep)

When I'm worried and I can't sleep

I count my blessings instead of sheep

And I fall asleep counting my blessings

When my bankroll is getting small

I think of when I had none at all


And I fall asleep counting my blessings.




I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads

And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds

If you're worried and you can't sleep

Just count your blessings instead of sheep

And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings.


I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads

And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds

If you're worried and you can't sleep

Just count your blessings instead of sheep

And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings.


Happy Holidays
