Count Your Many Blessings is a great song. I can relate to the songwriter's words. The first verse starts out, "When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed". Been there. More times that I would like to remember.
The dictionary definition of a billow is a great wave or surge of the sea. I've never been on the sea, but my brother told me he was fishing and the waves got to be 17 feet high. Definitely a billow! A tempest is a violent windstorm, especially with rain, hail or snow. Not a fun place to be...a storm at sea.
I am reminded of the song, It Is Well With My Soul.
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
I am learning to give thanks in all
situations so that I, too, can say
"It is well with my soul".
What a blessing!
