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.
