Christmas has come and gone. It's hard to believe that we are about to begin a new year and a brand new decade. It doesn't seem that long ago that everyone was concerned about Y2K at the turn of the century. Twenty years has zoomed by since then. We became grandparents of seven, soon to be eight, grandchildren since then. So many life changes have happened.
Just this morning as I read Psalm 91 in The Message Bible, I came across a verse that sums it up for me. "I'll give you the best of care if you'll only get to know and trust Me." I came to know Jesus as my Savior and Lord at a very young age. Through all of my life's journey, through all of life's ups and down, I've continued to grow in knowing Him and learning to trust Him. Through it all, He has given me the best of care and I know that He will continue to do so in the future. I'm so very thankful to this God that I can trust and rely on!

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)
