Thank You, God!



Tiny grandson growing in my daughter's womb
Hands 
All these blessings I don't deserve
Nana-one of my favorite things to be called
Kisses and hugs



Yahweh - You are the great I Am
Omnipresent-I'm so glad you are everywhere!
Understanding-there's nothing like knowing that I'm fully known and understood by You


Grandchildren!
One True God
Daughters-thank You for our three girls!

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)

  1. Another great week of blessings. Your lists always make me smile! Maybe it's the grandchildren reference? ;)

    1. I do think we understand each other and the joy and blessing it is to be in the grandparenting season of life!

  2. Ohhh, Elizabeth--the 'Thank You, God' acrostic was perfect. And your photos bring such joy!

    1. Actually, the acrostic was easier on a day when words weren't flowing!

  3. Elizabeth,

    Nice to meet you. :) I'm hopping over from Ann's link up to count gifts too. What a nice collection here of family photos and treasured moments.

    Grinning too,
