Mondays come and go.
The list continues to grow.
What a blessing to number the thanks
and engage in the moments of life.
Our lives are but a vapor ~
God's Word tells us that.
What are we doing with the days we have been given?
Do we rush through from moment to moment
without a thought to the ONE Who gives us
the very next breath we take?
We are upheld by HIM.
All things come from HIS hand.
What a blessing it is to notice.
The *little* things.
1266. Leaving the kitchen tidy at night with breakfast soaking
in a pot on the stove ~ ready for morning.
1267. Nebula flickering blue, green, red, yellow...
Wonder in the night sky!
1268. To bed at 8:30 pm!
1269. Boy-laughter at bedtime ~
Daddy tucking them in!
1270. Encouragement from Howie when I need it
1271. Sharing a secret with Emma ~
just us girls
1272. Her little organising ways ~
I found the bath all set up for me to wash
her hair first thing on a Saturday morning
1273. The *special* way that Emma set the table
for Daddy's birthday breakfast...
complete with balloons and straws and a Peter Pan placemat!

1274. My two journals on the kitchen counter
1275. Birthdays to celebrate!
Four of them in our immediate family in 7 1/2 weeks ~
LOTS of cake to bake! :)
1276. Too funny that Fraser thinks it would
be a good idea to have a Koala Bear for a pet!
He's been doing research and discovered that
they make good pets!
Option #2 ~ A Sea Otter...
and he was SERIOUS!
1277. Austin was able to get his former
violin teacher back...and along with that,
a spark of JOY!
1278. Heat from the registers and the taps...
so much we often take for granted!
1279. New glasses for Calvin
1280. Her running toward a flock of pigeons
and them flying away...over and over again
1281. Daddy jogging past me with the boys
1282. Boy-played Beethoven from memory
1283. Chocolate Spice Tea with cream and sugar ~ YUM!
1284. A lovely treat in the mail from a sweet friend ~
Thank you! :)
1285. Flowers from my Dad...*just because* ~
Love you! :)
1286. Another sunny day
1287. Long-ago, second-hand bought (mostly)
Playmobil still in use
1288. *Just because* special things Daddy does for
the children
1289. God's goodness always
1290. Crisp, fresh air coming inside through the slightly
open windows...refreshing!
1291. More and more and more papers to deliver ~
A wonderful job for the boys!
It's easy to count.
It begins with noticing the *little* things.
Noticing the moments.
Entering into them and writing them down.
It's as simple as that.
My journal sits on my counter.
I list as events unfold.
Sometimes many all at once,
and other times in a trickle.
Would you like to begin?
Just grab a pen and a journal,
set them out on the counter,
and list out your blessings.
Find the joy in the moments ~
As they arrive.
Enjoy the journey!
Many Blessings,
Camille
