Gratitude Journal



He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes. Deuteronomy 10:21

I have missed posting to the gratitude journal! The whole world looks so different when you go through your days consciously noticing blessings and listing praises to God....




225. Both child-hands went through the glass, but came out unharmed


226. For happy girl in mom-made clothes



227: For jeweled wings, transparent and luminous...caputred, appreciated, set free.

228: peaceful waters and gentle animals

229: Potato-faith...wondering if they were there, being surprised by more than we expected
230: Ribbons and freshly brushed hair



231: French toast for breakfast and sunny yellow eggs


232: All creatures, great and small


233: Flood of irrigation water, the unexpected gift of a muddy afternoon


234: And it all comes out in the wash!

235: Bounty from the garden
236: Salsa in jars, to be opened and reminded of garden splendor during winter's cold

237: Another year of peaches, sweet fragrant moments of summer stored up for winter.

Lots of blessings for sure.

I have a cooler full of 'maters and peppers and onions on the porch for tomorrow's salsa-making party. Peaches come in the middle of the week with hubby!

God is always so good! Your list encouraged me this morning. I want to walk each day looking for the blessing, not missing a one, giving God thanks for them all.
