A long time ago, we had a friend named Bill Jones. Bill was a recovering alcoholic we met in England. Yeah he was a Brit *smiling* One thing about Bill was he loved me. Not in the romantic since LOL, more like an admiring big brother. He had been in the Royal Navy in an earlier life, but had never met a woman in the military. He was so very proud to be our friend and wow did he teach us a hell of a lot about life and blessings. Bill lived on the dole ~ public assistance, and was a Soldier in the Salvation Army. When he was a drunk, he lost everything. Through AA and the Salvation Army he regained dignity and a life worth living ~ he was able to find joy. The first time we visited his flat, he had a list of simple items posted on his wall. My husband asked, hey Bill what is this list for? Bill said that is the list of things I’m thankful for……….. Bill is no longer with us, may his soul rest in peace.
Blessings…For Bill
Toilet paper
Sheets
A table and chairs
The ability to walk up stairs
Pen
Paper
A car to ride in
That belongs to a friend
Shoes
A flat
Day old food
Clothes so I’m not nude
Count your blessings
One by one
These are just some…..
I’m such a thief! I took some word play that the Professor had left for me on Simple Sunday, threw in a few of my own and asked Lady Cheryl to add some spice of her own, to come up with this collaboration:
Hello sweet Lovelies. I will try to come back after while with something. Right now I have such a headache… But I will bring something if not tonight them tomorrow… Love and hugs!!!!
I’ll be back to catch up and comment tomorrow after work…UNLESS…I can sneak a few minutes at work…lol (Most doubtful) Be well all….see you on the other side of tomorrow :love:
BLESSED IS THE AIR I BREATHE
FOR IT MIGHT BE MY LAST
BLESSED IS THE GOURND I STAND UPON
FOR SOME DAY I WILL BE IT WILL STAND ON ME
BLESSED ARE THE FREINDS I HAVE
FOR THEY KEEP ME SANE
BLESSED IS THE ONE I MARRIED
FOR WITH OUT HIM
I WOULD NOT BE
BLESSED ARE THE CHILDREN
THAT I BIRTHED
AND THAT GAVE BIRTH TO MORE
FOR THAT IS WHAT A TRUE
BLESSING
MEANS TO ME..
I am blessed
by many things
Most of all
each day I wake
is a blessing
My Lord brings
In my life
there may be pain
But My Lord
Sometimes takes
it away
To Him I give the
highest praise
My family mean
the world to me
Sweet smiles of my
grandchildren
are such
a joy to see
I love each of
My friends
They fill my heart
with blessings too
Without them
SometimesI wouldn’t
know what to do
I’d be very alone
and oh so blue
Many blessings
I count each day
For God surely
has blessed me
in many ways
My eyes are too fried to write anything tonoght. I wil be back in the morrow with a write. When it comes to being blessed, my cup continually runs over. I am truly blessed. I leave this until tomorrow.
Good morning JT Mary blessings come in many ways, check back later, hottt off to the lake while a lil cool for a few
Blessings
Born a blessed child
born with a veil upon
my eyes
Hence my name Joseph The Dreamer
given to me
Things have always gravitated to me
Had this inborn trait nothin would
happen to me
Stepped out into the world
that took me on a spin
Seems around the world many times
and back again
Perceptive thoughts can pick up
on others easily
What pleases me mostly
the serene protective feeling
I have from the source that created
me

Blessing in my life come small as mice.
Blessing in my life bring tears of joy and delight.
From the smallest flower to the biggest bright sky.
Even the smallest blessing shine bright.
I believe a blessing is coming into site.
A spell wish I did one night.
Blessing are all around us each and every day.
Just sometimes we take for granted which and every way.
From a simple smile from a stranger to brighten your day.
To winning a lottery ticket to help pay your way.
Blessing come bigger than you could ever guess.
For me this blessing was a test.
Death came knocking on my door hard.
I fell to floor and begged to go to the stars.
But I was blessed with heaven best.
Saved by the bell and pass the test.
Now blessing come often and test are still true.
I watch my world fall to the ground only to be pick up by the light the blessing insight.
Each day is new way .
Each day a blessing will come my way.
It helps to keep me believing in faiths ways.
I’m thankful to be living today.
Each morning as I awaken
I’m reminded once again
of all the blessings that I have
that each day come my way;
and how it is,
whether large or small,
they’re precious blessings,
one and all.
The simplest of gifts,
the ones money can’t buy,
the smiles that we share
as we pass by on the street;
the kind words you say,
so encouraging to me,
and blessings that I’m thankful for
as I go on about my day.
There’s so much I take for granted,
the food upon the table,
the roof over my head,
my health,
my friends,
my family,
all sweet blessings to me.
So from the moment I wake up
to the birds that sing
and the flowers that bloom,
I consider my many blessings
and what they mean to me.
And holding each of them
close to my heart,
I’m thankful for this day ahead
and all the blessings within.

Hope is life.
Look to yesterday?
Please, don’t.
Want it to return?
Well, it won’t.
Hope is life.
Something you want to do?
Someone or something
in the way, trying to stop you?
Don’t let it or them.
Hope is life.
Life here doesn’t last very long.
Somehow get to the end, and make up everything?
Sorry, wrong.
Cling tightly to hope, don’t let it go, because…
Hope is Life.
Kind of a bittersweet song this one is, kind of like life I guess?

I am so blessed
much more than I could write
from the miracle of birth
morning, noon and night.
Before writing this poem,
I tried to make a list,
too many things to be written down,
too many things I missed.
The blessings will continue
even after my life ends
because I go to a better place
and reunite with my spiritual friends.
In gratitude I wrote this poem
in somber thought I’ve trod
A moment of thanksgiving
To a great and loving God.
YOu guys have made this blog A M A Z I N G!!!!!!!!!!!
All such beautiful pieces posted!
