This episode of The Friday ReFresh is brought to you by www.benandtravis.com! I was sitting in my office this week listening to a song that echoes a similar sentiment to the old hymn “Count Your Blessings.” In this song by Seph Schlueter it says, 
“One, two, three, up to infinity. I'd run out of numbers, before I could thank you for everything. God, I'm still counting my blessings for all that you've done in my life. The more that I look into the details the more of Your goodness I'll find. Father, on this side of Heaven I know that I'll run out of time, But I will keep counting my blessings knowing I can't count that high.” As the song played I glanced around the room seeing glimpses of the blessings in my 26 years of ministry accumulated on my shelf.

Happy Thanksgiving 2024!  This episode is part of our Legacy Builder series called "Count Your Blessings" because Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to think about all you have been blessed with in the past year.  What traditions do you have at Thanksgiving?  In our family, we have Turkey Tom/Tina. This tradition was started by my wife years ago. She brings Turkey Tom/Tin out at dinner a few weeks before Thanksgiving. She gives us each one or two paper feathers. She asks us to write out the things we feel blessed to have in our life on the paper feathers. My wife collects them all and glues each one onto the paper turkey.  This year has been one of the worst because of our family's health trials but God carried us through it!  Life is hard, but we aren't made to carry the burden alone.  I hope you find encouragement in the podcast. Here are some songs that encouraged me to trust God with this trial. Rest For Your Soul I Still Believe  Faithfully Evidence The Jesus Way Our God Will Go Before Us

Gratitude: An emotion of the heart, excited by a favor or benefit received; a sentiment of kindness or good will towards a benefactor; thankfulness.  We have so much to be thankful for. When we start counting our blessings, we realize that we are a very blessed people. Yet, we often forget to express our gratitude to the One who has given us these good and perfect gifts. God has challenged me in this area of my life. I know that I need to grow in gratitude. I share specific ways that I am working on this area, as well as the affect gratitude has in so many areas of life.   Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 22:3; 100:4-5 I Thessalonians 5:18   Resources Referenced: Research Study on Gratitude   Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

In 1897, hymn writer Johnson Oatman Junior penned the timeless words, “Count your blessings, name them one by one,” a refrain that has encouraged generations. It reminds us of the profound role gratitude plays in the Christian life. As Thanksgiving approaches, this theme of gratitude takes on even greater significance. Let's look closer at Oatman's hymn and the enduring truths it holds for us.The Importance of GratitudeThankfulness isn't just a holiday sentiment. It's foundational to a life of faith. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, we're reminded to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” Gratitude reorients our focus, reminding us of God's faithfulness, especially in challenging times. As Oatman writes in the first verse: “When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed… Count your many blessings, name them one by one… And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.”By acknowledging God's goodness, we find renewed strength even in hardship.Fear and doubt can feel overwhelming, but gratitude has the power to shift our perspective. Psalm 118:4-5 reminds us, “Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free.”Focusing on our blessings brings us peace, as Jesus reassures us in John 16:33: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”Reflecting on God's provision can dissolve doubts, replacing anxiety with trust.The hymn's second verse emphasizes this: “Are you ever burdened with a load of care? … Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly.” When we reflect on God's faithfulness, we are reminded of His constant presence and care, as David beautifully expresses in Psalm 23.Gratitude Refines Our PrioritiesOatman's third verse warns against comparing ourselves to others, stating: “When you look at others with their lands and gold… think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold.”Focusing on the eternal treasure we have in Christ brings contentment. Jesus offers a peace the world cannot give: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you… Let not your hearts be troubled.” - John 14:27Gratitude shifts our hearts away from jealousy toward contentment rooted in Christ. The hymn's refrain encourages a simple yet powerful practice: “Count your blessings, name them one by one… see what God has done.”When was the last time you paused to reflect on the blessings in your life? Set aside time today to list every blessing you can think of, big or small. It's a great activity for the entire family—kids included—and you might be surprised at how much you have to be thankful for!Acknowledge the Giver of Every Good GiftWhile counting blessings is a valuable practice, as Christians, we're called to take it one step further. James 1:17 reminds us: “Every good gift… is from above, coming down from the Father.”We should not only count our blessings but also recognize that every blessing is a gift from God. Take a moment to thank Him for each item on your list, and let gratitude renew your joy.Johnson Oatman's hymn ends with a final reminder: “So, amid the conflict whether great or small… Do not be discouraged, God is over all.”Whatever you face, remember that gratitude can lift your spirit and strengthen your faith. Count your blessings, embrace gratitude, and remember God is with you through every trial. Let's start counting today, knowing that our faithful God is at the heart of every blessing!On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I borrowed money from my 401(k) to buy a home but had trouble paying. My plan converted the loan to a hardship distribution with a 35% tax penalty. How can I avoid this penalty?My wife will be 62 in August. She's retired, but we still file taxes jointly. I was thinking about her taking her Social Security early. Would it be taxed since I still work?I own a land-flipping and splitting business.
