First week of 2018 blessings...


The first week of January has already come and gone. Sometimes the ordinary days of an ordinary week are the sweetest as I sense God's nearness and savor His 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.

  1. I just got an email from a missionary friend in Africa also telling about a wonderful salvation story, and a woman hungry for the Word there. Praises and smiles.
