25 – Journaling Prompts for Adoptive Parents – 3 Ways to Count Your Blessings
Do you feel lonely, or overwhelmed? Do you struggle to trust God? Would you like to feel differently? May I suggest you can replace those negative feelings by counting your blessings?
Hi Neighbor!
In the first episode, I shared the story of my son Jonny and the ONE thing he did to learn to like himself again. He journaled.
I would like to begin what I'm hoping will become a regular feature for this podcast... journaling prompts.
In this episode, we’ll look at the song, Count Your Blessings, a hymn by Johnson Oatman, Jr. as a way to replace negative feelings with gratitude.
The lyrics are below.
Count Your Blessings…
Verse 1:
When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Verse 2:
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.
Verse 3:
So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
Refrain:
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
Hope and Healing are on the way.
Your Neighbor,
Tim
