Weekly Gratitude Journal

I love this time of the year! I'm so thankful for Jesus, the Reason for the Season. But, no matter the season, everyday I've got so much to be thankful for. Daily, I try to write down at least three things that I'm thankful for, but the truth is there are many blessings that I don't remember to write down and many that I'm sure I don't even notice. It's humbling to realize how much God does for me that I certainly don't deserve. I can't praise and thank Him enough.

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)
