THINGS THAT COUNT

September 5th 
It’s a “Things That Count” Day. 

LORD, TEACH US AND HELP US TO KNOW WHAT REALLY COUNTS TO YOU IN OUR LIVES. AMEN. 

Here is a poem I found whose author is unknown. When I read it, it made think about my priorities in life and what should really count and be important to me. It is entitled: 

             “Things That Count”

Not what we have, but what we use,
Not what we see, but what we choose.
These are the things that mar or bless,
The sum of human happiness.
The things nearby, not things afar;
Not what we seem, but what we are.
These are the things that make or break,
That gives the heart its joy or ache.
Not with seems fair, but what is true.
Not what we dream, but the good we do,
These are the things that shine like gems,
Like stars in fortune’s diadems.
Not what we take, but what we give;
Not as we pray, but as we live,
These are the things that make for peace,
Both now and after time shall cease.
I ask you today, “What are the things that count to you?”
