"Everyday" Blessings

Thanksgiving ought to be a year-round event ~
a daily exercise...
a way of life.

If we profess to belong to the LORD,
we are to bear the fruit of thankfulness.

Is it difficult?
Sometimes.

Is it rewarding?
Always!

Is it a burden?
Never.

As my list of thanks grows, I become more aware of the
MANY blessings in the "everyday".
And the numbering continues...I'm over half way!

The challenge was to reach 1000.

I anticipate the desire will be to continue counting,
numbering ~ joy-finding.

It is addicting.

601. All four children playing with Lego as they listen to a
children's CD ~ Scripture set to joyous music!

602. One child offering a place to sit on the floor to another ~
they are not always this amiable...is it the influence of the music?

603. The fort-builder!

604. The shoots of green and the promise of corn

605. Old pair of rollerskates for Emma

606. Neighbours who own ~ but don't occupy,
who allow a flower photo-shoot ~
