MATT FARMER Good Morning! I’m Matt Farmer, associate pastor at Central United Methodist Church in Meridian. There’s an old hymn that says, “count your blessings, name them one by one, count your blessings, see what God hath done.” When I think of the words of this old hymn, I begin to question whether or not we’ve been truly thankful for all of the many blessings that God has placed in our lives. So often in this life, we seem to be so intently focused on the next big thing that we fail to see all the blessings we have already experienced. I encourage you to set aside some time to reflect on the goodness of God and heed the words of that old hymn which say, “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 hath done.” May God bless you this day and may we take the time to realize those blessings.
