Belated Gratitude Post-

I try to publish my weekly gratitude post every Monday, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. Tomorrow is my husband's birthday and Monday was the only evening that worked for us to have his family birthday dinner. It's always a blessing to us when we get to have our whole family together, (though one son-in-law had to be out of town this time), and we don't take this blessing of having our children and grandchildren living in our area for granted. I cannot look at the fifteen of us together, hear the noise of the grandkids playing together, and not feel so very thankful for God's blessings.  With that said, here's last week's gratitude list - better late than never!

***************

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)
