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 want the Lord has done.
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.
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings every doubt will fly
And you will be singing as the days go by.
When you look at others with their lands and gold
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold
Count your many blessings money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.
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 till your journey's end.
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.

This is what I have been doing lately- counting my blessings. I have the life. It's not perfect and it's not everything I though I wanted. I have the family most people wish they did. I have what I need and more. I have people that care about me. They love me for who I am. I have the gospel. I have my savior. I have Aubrey. He treats me so good and I don't know what I would do without him. I have a fat little baby who does NOT stop smiling. I have a skinny lanky talkative mini me. I am healthy. I have loving parents. I have loving siblings who I try to emulate. I can't live without them. I love my life. It can only get better. I know who I am. I know where I came from. I know where I am going, and I know I will be with my family FOREVER.
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.
I love you all!

Thanks so much! We are really excited about having our little girl. It's crazy how grown up we are now. Your girls are precious and are getting so big! I love to see all of our class getting married and having families.
That's a good reminder when dumb, unimportant things get me down. By the way, I totally would have loved to come to your step class and even would have attempted it (although I'm sure it would have been quite embarrassing!) but I wasn't able to get someone to watch Christopher. Maybe next time!
