And when you do count your blessings, do you include the capacity to have Hope as one of them? Why or Why Not?

Amendment: Counting blessings = Acknowledging, not itemizing. Thanks...

I don't see religion or God as subordinate to economics, so I don't literally count my blessings, no.
But I do thank God for all the joy and love in my life that I am blessed with.
The capacity to have hope is a great blessing. For many people, hope is the only reason that the chose to live for another day.

I cannot count my blessings, because they are too many to enumerate!
I just thank Jehovah for some different ones each time I pray.

lol at the "it's not appropriate to pry" then insulting you by telling you to go dig ditches .... LOL like that is appropriate.
But to answer you, I don't really count them so much as thank Him for them. I've never really thought about Hope as being a blessing so much as it is a lifeboat for me on stormy waters.

Scripture says the Lord chose us...we didnt choose Him. Thats awesome!! I do count my blessings everytime I think about it. I thank Him for His long-suffering toward me...because I used to be lost like so many others. Through His love, I try to be patient on the lost and have longsuffering like He had on me. We need to have more compassion instead of being so critical. Thank you Jesus, for loving me !!
Amazing how Jesus loves me and you the very same amount He loves murderers, liars, terrorists, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Lauden. Thats incredible and beyond our comprehension.
I am BLESSED!!

No, I do not.
Reason: I do not feel it is appropriate to brag.
I also do not feel that it is appropriate to discuss
with others what I pray about and how often I
pray. I think that is a personal thing and most
private. You should know better than to pry into
someone elses intimate moments. Frankly
speaking it is none of your business, and you
would be better employed digging ditches.
