I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
yar..jus as my title suggested. i shld indeed count my blessings! i realised or rather observed that i am quite a pessimistic person. always remeber the bad things but not the good things. well, lately, i have been sick, then i stepped onto something ydae, before that there were quite a few changes to my mission trip due to unforeseen circumstances. i tell u, i was quite disappointed. i thought, hm.. is God tellign me something? Issit not in His will that I shld go for this mission trip???
but today i was toking to my mission trip team mates. both of them all felt that God has been good to all of us in the team. and even though after much unexpected changes and unconfirmations, my team leader has remained unfazed..(i guess thats y she is the team leader..haha). on the way home from our mtg today, ezel actuali said, the Lord has been good to the 2 of us, i.e, the team leaders and me. and i was quite taken aback coz i dun in any way find that the Lord has been good to me in this event. she said, "yar.. God shortened the trip for noth of u... Pauline on her time, and u on ur finance. rem we were suppose to go 2 places initially, now is only 1, u will have enuf money, and Pauline will hv enuf time to rest." when she said that, i was like..yar hor.. how come i nv thot abt that. truely, if the trip is supposed to go 2 places, i dun think i will hv enuf money to go. and i believed the Lord would not have want me to borrow from other ppl. now, my trip fee is JUST RIGHT! not too much and not too little! Thank God! i reali must learn to look at the "brighter" side of things, like how God has blest me! think soemtimes i read too much into things and many things look like premonitions to me.. overspiritualise (if there's such a word)! oh..and i just rem that.. Pauline also say she felt we are to come with a heart of thanksgiving today... :D
so ppl, count ur blessings today! with a thanksgiving! ;)
