Weekly Gratitude Journal

Thanksgiving week is over. Today is the last day of the month of Thanksgiving- in November I post something I'm thankful for every day on social media. But, giving God thanks is a daily lifestyle, not a habit for only one month of the year. And so I continue to write my thanks in my daily gratitude journal and to post them weekly here.

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

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)
