He loves me?
He loves me not?
Yes, He loves me!
On the days when the blessings are obvious,
on the days when they are hard to see,
on the days I'm so self absorbed that I forget to notice,
God still loves me.
In that fact alone, there's more than enough reason to give thanks every day.
***********
Since 2009 I've been counting my blessings thanks to the prompting of
Ann Voskamp.
I continue to count my thanks
piling up gratitude day by day
in my little black journal.
(and capturing some of my blessings via my camera or iPhone)
