（詩篇一百三十六篇 Psalm 136）
有一首詩歌名為「數算主恩」，提醒我們要常常數算主的恩典。歌詞說，我們數算主的恩典時，要仔細地一樣樣地數算，不應含糊敷衍了事。
我把這一個月定為感恩月，也是因為十一月是感恩節的日子。我們要回顧過去一年，數算神在我們身上所給予的各種恩典，並向祂表達我們的愛與敬拜。
在下一個主日崇拜中，我們會一同數算主恩。我們會在敬拜中向主感恩，仔細把祂在過去十個月中向我們所施的恩典一一數算。我們要回去把主的恩典列出來，下主日我們會在敬拜中，在神的殿中作見證。
每一個人都有一點時間來數算主恩，在主面前獻上感恩的祭。我希望弟兄姊妹不要單單數算神給你的好處，或幫助你解決了什麼困難之類的感恩。這些固然很好，的確要感恩。我希望大家能數算在屬靈的操練上，神對你的提醒和教導。這些恩典是我們不能忘記的。我也希望你能分享神並沒有答應你的祈求，但卻安慰了你，給予你更大的信心和盼望。許多時候神不答應我們所求的，才是神要賜給我們最大的恩典。我們要懂得分辨神的祝福，也要為神賜給我們的一切來感恩。
這一週的屬靈功課就是數算主的恩典，把今年領受的各種各類的恩典寫下來，列一個明細表，並預備在下週敬拜時與大家分享，獻上感恩的祭。
There is a very beautiful hymn named “Count the Blessings”, and it reminds us to count the blessings always. The lyric says that we should count the blessings and name them one by one. When we count the blessings we should do it sincerely.
I want to use this month to be a thanksgiving month, since we are going to celebrate Thanksgiving soon. Let us look back to the past, and count the blessings that God has given us, and we will offer Him the thanks offering in love and worship.
In the following Sundays, we will count the blessings together in our worship services. In the worship services, we will name all the blessings one by one to show our gratitude to the Lord. It is also our witness to the Lord and His love to us.
The church will give everybody some time to count the blessings and offer your thanks offerings. I pray that we will not only count those material blessings or blessings of delivery from our difficult life situations, but also the blessings of some spiritual disciplines and the lessons we have learned from His teachings. Those are the blessings we should not forget. I also pray that you will count the blessings of the unanswered prayers that God did not give what you wanted but gave comfort and peace to substitute them. Let us count the blessings of faith and hope that God has given us instead of fulfilling our requests and desires, for those blessings are the biggest blessings we can get from God. May we know how to recognize the true blessings from God and give Him our deepest gratitude.
Let us work on our spiritual homework in this coming week, and list out all the blessings. We are going to count the blessings and name them one by one in our coming worship service.
