Still thankful...

Yesterday I accidentally washed my Fitbit in my leaky washing machine.  Today my dryer quit heating. There are so many things that I'd rather spend money on than replacing my fitness tracker or buying a new washer and dryer. (Ours are too old to bother to repair anymore.)  In spite of those kinds of bumps in the road, my heart is full of gratitude today.  God is so good, so faithful, so kind.  There is just so much to be thankful for if I only keep my eyes and heart open to see.

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.
