"When you are a follower of Christ and you stop counting, you've lost your way." Ann Voskamp
I keep it on my nightstand within easy reach at the end of a day. A reminder to pause and reflect. To count the gifts, the many blessings in my life. My gratitude journal is a simple black notebook; nothing fancy on the outside but filled with beauty on the inside!
- a cup of hot tea with honey
- easy laughter with friends
- the freckle on my son's nose
I continue to count. It helps me recognize the hand of God in my life. It helps me to recognize how small I am and how great and wonderful God is!
- my niece, Fiona's, newborn baby, Evan Richard
- a mother's heart being stretched with an unfathomable love
- the miracle of life
- the beauty of a snow covered morning
- homemade blueberry pancakes
Seeing God in the little things is simple when your heart is open. He extends His love to every area of our life!
- sheets fresh out of the dryer
- a Rosary with heart-shaped beads (a prayer of God's love)
- pretty photo frames that hold happy memories
- my soul at peace
Will you join me in counting the gifts? What has God gifted you with today?
Beautiful post Joanne. It is remembering to be thankful for the little things He does in our lives. I loved reading this...am going to google that book right now.
