Thankful Things

A while back, my sweet friend, AW, told me about a wise practice she and her friend LP exercised daily. If I remember correctly she said each morning they would write on a sticky note a few things they were thankful for. I've always loved that idea! From time to time I like to practice that same wisdom by stopping to count my blessings. Here's what I've been thinking about this morning:

I'm thankful for...

• my trustworthy and faithful God
• my kind and encouraging husband
• our cute apartment
• beautiful sunshine
• our trip up to lake keowee tomorrow to see everyone! :)

Certainly, I have much more to be thankful for than just those few (but significant) things. It's just a start. Maybe you're feeling down today or a bit pessimistic about whatever mountain you're looking at- don't be dismal, take a minute or two and count a few blessings. I think you may be surprised to see how quickly they flow once you get counting. :)

Joyfully,
