Angels In My Midst

I had so many people helping me stay strong and get through last week. The tenderness shown to me was moving - and I really needed it. There was an amazing amount of support being shared throughout our building. I admire all the caring people we have within our walls.

Thanks to the very special angel (and I know you are one) who came to me EARLY this morning and answered my question (concern) and lifted my sorrow. The clock maneuver was a good one.

Someone sent this to me to help me get through last week:

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 has done

Count your blessings

Name them one by one

Count your blessings

See what God has done

Count your blessings

Name them one by one

Count your many blessings

See what God has 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

Count your blessings
Name them one by one
Count your blessings

See what God has done

Count your blessings

Name them one by one

Count your many blessings

See what God has done

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

Count your blessings

Name them one by one

Count your blessings

See what God has done

Count your blessings

Name them one by one

Count your many blessings

See what God has done

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

Count your blessings

Name them one by one

Count your blessings

See what God has done

Count your blessings

Name them one by one

Count your many blessings

See what God has done
