Thanksgiving week blessings 2018-

We had a beautiful, non traditional Thanksgiving at the beach with our middle daughter and her family. I did no cooking, as my daughter had purchased a pre-made Thanksgiving dinner to bring with us. Instead we played games with the grandkids, took beach walks and relaxed. As always, I am blessed above and beyond what I could ever earn or deserve by our loving, gracious God. Every day should be thanksgiving day-a day filled with gratitude to God.

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)
