Multitude Mondays

So very many things to be grateful for today...but I am especially fond of this little one.

This sweet girl is almost 9 months old!!

She hates to sit still and is desperate to learn how to walk!

But she is a joy, and although blurry, this picture captures her joy!!

In Honor of Gitzen Girl, this Monday I am counting some of my many blessings and choosing in ALL things to have Joy!

#169 - Sweet smiles from my only daughter

#170 - Garage sale finds and black and red dresses!

#171 - Cameras that capture life - even if slightly blurred

#172 - The sounds of kids laughing outdoors

#173 - Pumpkins and leaves changing colors

#174 - The smell of stew cooking in the crockpot

#175 - New friends and new opportunities for growth

And how about you?

What gifts can you count today? How are you choosing Joy? Please share them here - I would love to know some of the items on your "list".

Happy Monday!!

A host of things to be grateful for....

So often I get so caught up in "me" that I forget to see...

In the darkness of my self-focus, I shut out the light.

But then I am reminded of the counting of gifts....

And soon the host of good gifts is so very evident. This friends is where my focus will be today.

How about you? Can you count the many, many reasons we have to be thankful?

#127 - Red barn paint and helping when we are needed

#128 - The giggle of a boy who never sleeps past 6:30am

#129 - The sound of the dryer spinning clean clothes

#130 - Beautiful birch trees outside the front window

#131 - Rides to school from a helpful neighbor

#132 - Fresh baked banana bread

#133 - Grace...always grace

Have you counted today? Counted the gifts in your life...your day? Join me won't you?
