As long as thanks is possible...

Last week, a spur of the moment decision to make the desire of two little grand girlies come to pass, meant a whole lot of fun with a side of exhaustion. You can read about what we did here.  Thanks is indeed possible.  How can I not be grateful for all God's many blessings in my life?

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 journal.

(and capturing some of my blessings via my camera or iPhone)
