Underneath are the Everlasting Arms

Counting.
Numbering.
Giving Thanks.

A way of thinking.
A way of living.
A way of praising.

God is Good.
All the time.

We often forget when
we are in the midst of trials.
Difficulties.
The storms of life.

But, God never changes.
He is always the same.
And He always cares.
Always guides.
Always gives grace.

"And underneath are the everlasting arms..."
~ Deuteronomy 33:27a ~

The list of thanks grows.
Marches on.
Through the storms.
Through the valleys.
On the Mountain.

Through it all
there is J.O.Y.

Lasting.
Never ending.
Abiding.

J.O.Y.

Because of the LORD ~
Only in HIM can it truly be found.

In an effort to remind
myself of this amazing Truth ~
I purpose to count.
I purpose to number.
I purpose to record.

1551. Tin grins are "in" ~
Calvin is the third of our children to wear braces.



1552. Clean sheets and boys
who know what to do with them :)



1553. First *real* snow (January 14,2012)
and the joy it brings

1554. A system for the wetness



1555. Fraser's love of languages



1556. Hebrew sticky notes...



1557. ...All over the place!



1558. Everywhere! :)

1559. And that I said *yes* ~
At first, to my shame, I didn't



1560. Coffee with cream and sugar!

1561. That the two boxes of
Purdy's
for Christmas are GONE! :)

1562. Pen Pals for Emma

1563. Friendship bracelets ~
One from me and three from her

1564. The way she hums "How Firm A Foundation"
while she works on more bracelets ~
P.R.E.C.I.O.U.S.



1565. It won't always be like this ~
Capturing the moments!



1566. Bracing breeze at the beach
and how good it feels to have made the effort to go!

1567. Hot chocolate instead of coffee

1568. Listening to our very own composer
do some composing

1569. Unexpected deep clean ~
To find my ring

1570. Getting things DONE!

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
