Weekly Gratitude Journal


I've got a to-do list nagging me, so I'll not be wordy today. This week was not an easy one, but always, always, always, God is good and His blessings are all around me. Some days I have to work harder to pay attention and notice them, but it's always worth it when I do.

*****************
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)
