Count your blessings, name them one by one

Count your blessings, see what God has done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
Hymn by Johnson Oatman, Jr., 1897

It’s Friday.  Count your blessings!

Oatman wrote over 5,000 gospel hymns, but supported himself in insurance and retail while being a Methodist pastor.

It's Wednesday and I have many blessings, but I don't have a $990.00 shirt. Probably would never buy one, because I'd rather give $800 of it to a family member who is trying to scrape together tuition money.

I am thankful that the stock market is at it's highest point since 2007. That means I have a few more bucks in my IRA, not a lot more, but enough more to buy a Mercedes. Won't actually do that either, maybe another Toyota.

Blessings be!

Wasn't sure what you were referring to--maybe the t-shirts Michelle Obama wears to promote gardening? But no, I checked google and see it is Mrs. Romney. Yes, stock market recovered, and the top earners have done very well under President Obama, but everyone else has suffered.

Your liberal readers complain when you only write political posts, then make your religious posts political. I think they just don't like you.

"If we’re going to have wardrobe wars, let’s spread the outrage more widely. The very same designer of Ann Romney’s “out of touch” blouse just happens to be the designer of a $1,200 bag that Michelle Obama favors. Look at this image, not simply for the tote bag, but for the $2,990 Alaia jacket." http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/298945/our-fashionable-first-lady-bradley-scott
