Counting My Blessings: A Rhyming Story of Joy, Wonder, & Gratitude
Heading into the season of Thankfulness, this is a must have!
About the book: Discover infinite blessings every day. This picture book based on singer-songwriter Seph Schlueter’s viral song “Counting My Blessings” invites children to find joy, gratitude, and God’s gifts in each moment.
God gives us miracles, gifts big and small.So many in fact, we just can’t count them all.One, two, three …up to infinity!
God’s gifts are everywhere—from the smallest kindness to the vastness of the stars. Follow along as a young boy learns to look for the good in every moment. When he feels down, he discovers that blessings can be found in unexpected places: a stray cat in need of a home, the warmth of his mother’s hug, the thrill of a new friendship, and the comfort of community. From the endless wildflowers in a field to the countless waves in the sea, he begins to understand that God’s love is as infinite as the stars in the sky.
This delightful story gently introduces children ages 4-8 to themes of gratitude, faith, and praise to God. With lyrical, rhyming text and stunning illustrations that bring the boy’s world to life (complete with his fun-loving cat!), Counting My Blessings is perfect for:
- Family Read-Alouds: Cuddle up and share a comforting message of hope and love before bedtime or anytime.
- Teaching Gratitude: A wonderful tool to help children recognize and appreciate the small miracles in their daily lives.

My thoughts: When I was raising my five children, we taught them Bible verses about thankfulness and tried to instill in their hearts and minds a spirit of thankfulness for the little things as well as the major things in their lives. This is a first step in realizing that they have a Savior for which they should give thanks, forgiveness for which they should give thanks, and a God who loves them for which they should give thanks.
Thanking God for door knobs, shoestrings, bread, clothes, friends, and on and on the list goes is not trite. It is basic.
This beautiful children's book, Counting My Blessings, and the absolutely beautiful song (both by Seph Schlueter) is a new Christian classic in my opinion. Pay attention to the pictures. Pay attention to the words. Feel the warmth and gentle sweetness of the music. It implants itself in the heart. So get the book, learn the words, learn the song and sing along.
