It has been a blessing to join in with the "Gratitude Community" in giving thanks for all things. Since beginning this journal of thankfulness I have found that I am noticing the "little" things more and consciously thanking the ONE Who gives all things richly to enjoy! Praise HIM from Whom all blessings flow!
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
James 1:17
And the numbering of gifts continues...will you join us?

What wonderful blessings from God! I have enjoyed reading your list...it helps me to appreciate the little blessings around me each day too!
You mention going over the border for gas...is it much cheaper down here - I seem to think it is expensive, but of course we own a towing company and go through a lot of fuel!
Wishing you a lovely day!
Blessings!

Our cars name is "Betsy" too :) How funny...
Joining you in gratitude for a hard working husband; a true gift from God.
Enjoyed reading your list...
#140..laptop...amen to that!
Nadine ~ We drive a minivan and I figure with exchange and everything we save at least $15 on a fill...put that together with the $$ I save on chickens, eggs, butter and cheese and you have a worthwhile trip. Actually, the whole exercise including border crossings and shopping usually takes less than 1 hour...I have saved as much as $100 on one trip!
Mavis ~ That is funny! :)
Jenny ~ You are so right...I always said I wanted a hubby who I had to hold back rather than push...blessings upon blessings!
Annesta ~ I guess technically the name for a laptop is "notebook"...but who would know what I meant? :) Thanks for stopping by!
Blessings,
Camille
Camille, I was calculating in my mind how many of your blessings I was going to comment on until I came to 131. Wow, that one hits home. THAT'S an amazing God who has the power to, but doesn't strip us of our blessings. It does happen, and I've known that experience, but there's been so much more grace than discipline!
Thanks for the reminder.
Heather
Oh Heather ~ It's ALL of Grace! Even when something IS stripped from us...it is ALWAYS for our good! What a WONDERFUL God we serve.
With Love,
Camille
Hi Camille,
Thanks a lot for sharing your countless blessings, they seem to be endless! What a faithful God is He. There are many things in life indeed that we should acknowledge and be grateful in the Lord who gives us all these gifts that we enjoy.
We are so thankful for your family.
blessings to you...
Hannah :)
Dear Hannah ~
I am thankful for YOU! It is truly a beautiful thing to give thanks for ALL things...if only I would ALWAYS have this perspective!
Looking forward to our visit next week!
Love,
Camille
