We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count. ~ ~ May your days be many and your troubles be few. May all God's blessings descend upon you. May peace be within you may your heart be strong. May you find what you're seeking wherever you roam. ~ ~ The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings. ~ ~ All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors ~ ~ The first of earthly blessings, independence. ~ ~ The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest.... ~ ~ Our American values are not luxuries but necessities, not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself. Our common vision of a free and just society is our greatest source of cohesion at home and strength abroad, greater than the bounty of our material blessings. ~ ~ It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them. ~ ~ It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers the blessings of God, the Compassionate, if we in turn will not practice elementary compassion towards our fellow creatures ~ ~ Better to lose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your troubles. ~ ~ A cloudy day or a little sunshine have as great an influence on many constitutions as the most recent blessings or misfortunes ~ ~ We did not think of the great open plains, the beautiful rolling hills, and winding streams with tangled growth, as "wild." Only to the white man was nature a "wilderness" and only to him was the land "infested" with "wild" animals and "savage" people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery. Not until the hairy man from the east came and with brutal frenzy heaped injustices upon us and the families we loved was it "wild" for us. When the very animals of the forest began fleeing from his approach, then it was that for us the "Wild West" began. ~ |
