Count Your…

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.

Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.

Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.

"Build a little fence of trust around to-day;

Fill the space with loving thought and therein stay;

Look not from its sheltering bars upon to-morrow,

God will help thee bear what comes, of joy or sorrow."
