From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. John 1:16
Over two years ago I started a journal of things I am thankful for. Today I have over two thousand entries! If you have the gift/curse of seeing what's wrong instead of what's right (like I do) I recommend starting your own journal as a way to record and remember the good things in life.
Things like....
Church potlucks
Saturday morning walks with a friend
12 year old boys playing games in the pool
Sonic happy hour
Friends we haven't met yet
The Cheese Shop in Williamsburg
True stories
A movie at the Byrd theater
Making people laugh
King sized beds
Country fried steak at the Pink Cadillac Diner
An emergency room decorated with butterflies
Reading a book in the shade
Funny texts from Jacob
The first night of VBS
Dinner from a friend
Meeting heroes
Flowers in the kitchen window
Chick Fil A by the pool
A husband fixing breakfast
Don't ever stop giving thanks and counting your blessings--even on bad days. Some days you just have to look harder.
In everything give thanks... 1 Thess. 5:18
