Count Your Blessings

Hello everyone!

Today is Thanksgiving. I hope you all enjoy some good food and time with your families.

There's something I've been doing the past few years, and I want to share it with you. I keep a journal, and in this journal, I take time on Thanksgiving morning to write the things I am thankful for. It's a challenge, because each year, the number changes according to my age. So, instead of just doing 10-15 things each year, which is what we were encouraged to do on Sunday at church, I take it a step further.

Without looking at my list from last year, I write down what I'm thankful for. This year, my list will have 30 items.

So, today, I challenge you to do the same. Whatever your age, write down that number of things you are thankful for, without repeating them. It takes a little while sometimes to think of the last few, but it's worth it. It reminds me how much I have to be grateful for, how much God has blessed me. And then, when life gets tough, I can look back on the list and remind myself everything that is good in my life instead of focusing on the bad.

I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
God bless you.

Worship Wednesday: God's Goodness is Eternal

This Sunday, we sang this song in church, and it really touched me. Tears and everything. It's a wonderful reminder of how faithful and good God is, so I've added it to my worship list. It's very powerful, and I wanted to share it with all of you.
