Naming Gifts from God

Count Your Blessings the old hymn sings...  
it's not a new concept, but I've not counted...
named them one by one.
Today I start...
putting names to them.
Living gratitude out loud... 
to more fully live Joy

 

1.   hearing rain on the attic roof
2.   watching rain from a warm, dry house
3.   a fixed computer
4.   hero husband who fixes after an exhausting day of work
5.  "mommy, will you hold me?"















6.   the smell of muffins baking
7.   checks on the to-do list
8.   the tenderness of Sam's heart














9.   sleep
10.  Nanny's coffee blanket...memories


















Name gifts with us...

A fixed computer! Now THAT rates right up there, doesn't it???? Nothing more nerve wracking than a computer that doesn't work and you don't know what to do and the people that do are accessed through the computer!!! I had never counted and named my blessings either. Makes a big difference when we name them, doesn't it????
