  • Third, I have peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7),
  • Fourth, I have joy unspeakable (1 Peter 1:8),
  • Fifth, I have divine love which never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8),

  • Seventh, I have healthy, happy obedient children (Exodus 20:12),
  • Eighth, I have true, loyal friends (Proverbs 18:24),
  • Ninth, I have songs in the night (Psalms 42:8),
