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

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
