A quick gratitude post...



I'm popping in here for a quick gratitude post today. My husband, middle daughter and son-in-law, and the team from our church arrived home from Ghana on Saturday.  After twelve days of taking care of the grandkids at their house, I've got a lot of things I want to get done at home.  But first, my gratitude journal from the past seven days...
****************
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)
