26 Blessings

                                                       Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks unto the Holy One

    Give thanks because He's give Jesus Christ His Son....

                                                                   
So often I don't view everything I have as a blessing from God. I become selfish & demanding that God gives me all the things He ever has because; that's what God does right? We always say how; "God likes to give gifts to His children", which yes, He does, but that does not give us the right to claim those things which He gives us as "all ours" forgetting the source from where these things came.  We all know how much more fun it is to give something away when the receiver acts grateful, don't you think God feels the same way?     Oh that I would learn to be more grateful!

   Here's "26 Blessings"...
1. A faithful God   2. Christian friends  3. The Bible   4. Music   5. Sunsets   6. Coffee shops

Peace (When I leave it in Your hands)

       

Peace (When I leave it in Your hands)

Time and time again I brought my burdens

I prayed and prayed that I could lay them down

But walked away still bearing on my shoulders

A heaviness and heartache You never meant for me to carry 'round

But there's peace when I leave it in Your hands

Sweet peace when I leave it in Your hands

Just leave it there and never pick it up again

There's peace when I leave it in Your hands

I wouldn't say I've gained a lot of wisdom

Oh, but I have learned this much along the way

Lord, that You are always there to bear my burdens

At first I might not feel it but if I learn to trust You, come what may, I'll find...

Peace when I leave it in Your hands

Sweet peace when I leave it in Your hands

Just leave it there and never pick it up again

There's peace when I leave it in Your hands

When I'm temped to doubt and question You

Lord, just keep reminding me.....

....Just leave it there and never pick it up again

there's peace when I leave it in Your hands
