Blessing 2 - Disneyland

Disneyland. I am thankful that I have such a wonderful place to visit so nearby. Even though its expensive, crowded and exhausting, there are not many feelings in the world that can compare to the feelings you get after watching a display like Fantasmic or the evening fireworks. These shows, the rides and the atmosphere of Disneyland were all built upon dreams. They were built to encourage dreaming among children and adults. Disneyland lets adults feel young again and lets children feel a little older. If you search beyond the high prices and the long lines, you will feel the warmth that Disneyland has to offer. I am thankful for Disneyland.

Blessing 1 - Pictures

Pictures. I am thankful for the wonderful stories contained in so many of my pictures. I have pictures of dear friends, loving family, amazing places, unforgettable times and more. Photography is an art that can touch every emotion of the human soul, and it undoubtedly has touched mine. I am thankful for pictures.

Introduction

This new blog, "The Blessing Ticker" will be an online journal of my personal blessings. I have a goal to make daily entries. I got this idea because I was kind of sad the other day and I was trying to think of some way that I could become a whole lot happier. Then this wonderful song came into my head.

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.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord 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 keep 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. Wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

I have faith that this song speaks truths and I'm willing to test its teachings. So here goes. I Please enjoy and feel free to comment or leave some of your discovered blessings.
