Third Sunday of Lent



Those who bring thanksgiving as their sacrifice honour me;
To those who go the right way
I will show the salvation of God.
Ps. 50:23



I have just read through all my posts of the last week, and in every one I seem to be moaning about one thing or another.

I think it's time for me to read this poem again, which I found on Lisa's blog.


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.

I'm making this my Lenten journey for next week!

Definitely some very good words of wisdom in that poem - stuff every single one of us can use, every day of the year.
