BLESSINGS

What a world this would be if we could forget our troubles as easily as we forget our blessings.

Author unknown

May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face

And the rain fall soft upon your fields

And until we meet again

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Author unknown, Irish blessing

God is more anxious to bestow his blessings on us than we are to receive them.

Augustine of Hippo

Reflect upon your present blessings – of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Charles Dickens

Temporal blessings are not definite marks of divine favor, since God gives them to the unworthy, and to the wicked, as well as to the righteous.

C.H. Spurgeon
