Sufficiently Blessed - Re-posted

I’m not what some would call wealthy,

But I have food to eat.

I have a roof to keep me dry

And, when it’s cold, there’s heat.

I have a job and loving friends

Who help me when in need.

So, though most folk don’t think it’s so,

I think I’m rich, indeed.

 

My car is old, my house is too,

But then, Lord, so am I.

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed

All I can do is cry.

But that is when I count them up,

The blessings that are mine,

And I can’t help but realize

That my life is quite fine.

 

I have not lived perfectly, Lord,

Sometimes my life’s a mess.

And there are many who have more,

But many more have less.

So one more time, Lord, let me say

What I know to be true,

That Your Grace is sufficient, Lord,

And I’ve been Blessed by You.  

 

2 Corinthians 12:9

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
