Lamentations 3:22-24 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.… I was going home one winter's evening with my little maiden at my side, when she looked up into the sky and said, "Father, I am going to count the stars." "Very well," I said, "do." And soon I heard her whispering to herself, "Two hundred and twenty-one, two hundred and twenty-two, two hundred and twenty-three," and then she stepped and sighed. "Oh dear! I had no idea" they were so many! Like that little maiden. I have often tried to count my mercies, but right soon have I had to cry, I had no idea they were so many!" (Mark Guy Pearse.)
