Continually thankful...

Popping in quickly on this MLK day to post my weekly gratitude list.  My oldest daughter is ill so I'm taking care of our two youngest granddaughters for her since they are home from school today.
****************
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)

  3. I can't believe how big your middle grandson is. He's not a baby anymore. He is adorable.

    1. My grand babies are all miracles -two via adoption, three via pregnancy after over a decade of infertility, and the last one because of the miraculous way God brought my youngest daughter and her husband together when she was losing hope in her thirties of ever meeting the right guy!

  6. Love your list, as always. Your grandchildren are so cute! What a blessing. And I love your new teakettle and the 'stay at home' sign you made. (wondering what font you used for 'stay')
