**This post was written before
I took a month off ~
Which is why some of it is a little "out of date".
The Ordinary.
The Everyday.
The Ebb and Flow of life.
Sometimes we take these things forgranted.
Sometimes we forget to give thanks.
And yet, we are commanded to.
It is the mark of one who is redeemed.
We owe everything to HIM.
To HIS grace.
To HIS mercy.
We belong to HIM.
We are to glorify HIS Holy Name.
1459. Building my repertoire of
quick and easy meals to prepare ~
Just like THIS! :)
1460. More ice cream!
1461. Walks at the beach with friends
1462. Hanging baskets at the front door
1463. The squeals of laughter coming
from Fraser and Emma as they play outside
1464. Austin and Fraser creating music together
1465. So thankful for the Doctrine of God's Sovereignty!
1466. Simplifying life ~ or at least trying to!
1467. Accountability
1468. New beginnings
1469. Amazing preaching Sunday after Sunday ~
SUCH a blessing!
1470. Being challenged from the pulpit through God's Word
1471. My Dad who is always willing to help out around here ~
Thanks Dad! :)
1472. Catching up with a dear friend
1473. Pink sky at night
1474. The longest day of the year
1475. Longer days
1476. My clothesline!
1477. First load of towels hung out to dry ~
LATE...July 4th!
1478. A stretch of sunny days after MANY grey ones
1479. Opening up windows and doors early in the morning
to let the fresh air in and let the stuffy air out!
1480. The breeze that comes off the ocean
1481. Trimmed trees
1482. A better view
1483. Firewood for the winter
1484. Thankful that we don't depend on that
wood to keep warm in the winter months
My journal sits on my counter.
I list as events unfold.
Sometimes many all at once,
and other times in a trickle.
Would you like to begin?
Just grab a pen and a journal,
set them out on the counter,
and list out your blessings.
Find the joy in the moments ~
As they arrive.
Enjoy the journey!
Many Blessings,
Camille

It's so good to hear from you again! I hope your summer has been a good one.
Wonderful blessings! I love the smell of laundry that comes fresh off the line! There's nothing like it!
We owe everything to HIM.
To HIS grace.
To HIS mercy.
We belong to HIM.
We are to glorify HIS Holy Name.
That is a post in itself! I am going to write these words down and hang them on our fridge! Thanks for always being so Truth filled! You are a blessing to me!

I love the way clothes smell after they have been hung out on the line, I think your view is fantastic.
I have done a gratitude journal in the past and somehow it got neglected...so easy to do.
Just the encouragement I needed to start again.

Dear Jenn ~ True...I agree...nothing like it! I even like *crunchy* towels. :)
Dear Christine ~ You are a blessing to me...thank you for your sweet encouragment. :)
