GOD’S BLESSINGS (Poem #252)
God gives many blessings, which may be big or small;
And the biggest blessing is his Son He gave for us all.
Sometimes we say a prayer hoping that He will grant;
But when the blessing is received, it has a different slant.
Not really knowing what is best for us, we pray
That God will take care of our very needs this day.
The answer isn't always the way we thought it would be.
Sometimes we have to wait quite a while even just to see.
But, when we keep our faith up really strong
And keep God in our hearts the whole day long,
Our blessings will be many and our hearts will be so light;
Because God knows what to do and He does it just right.
