The LORD's mercies truly are new every morning.
They are countless. Numberless. Infinite.
In light of all this, I'm starting fresh.
Perhaps it's the influence of a New Year.
A fresh calendar. Fresh possibilities.
Maybe even a fresh perspective?
The numbering of my thanks has been a tremendous blessing to my soul.
Truly, numbering has been a balm. But, now, I'm leaving the numbering behind.
My plan is just to list ~ point by point. Line by line ~ one after the next.
Join me? I'd be thrilled!
If you do put up your own post, please alert me to the fact
that you are listing out your blessings, and I will seek to stop by for a visit.
Let's encourage one another!
"Many, O LORD my God, are Thy wonderful works which Thou hast done,
and Thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto Thee:
if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered."
~ Psalm 40:5 ~
So, on this grey day in January, I list out my numberless thanks.
They are random and not necessarily logical,
but, they are precious nonetheless.

~ Traditions to keep...
~ That this young man could indulge...
~ It was a momentous occasion...
~ We all enjoyed watching him take that first satisfying bite!
~ Our Stanley Park walk that ended with a view of the city ~ isn't it beautiful?
There really are so many things to be thankful for!
May the LORD grant us eyes to see
and hearts to rejoice in HIS many Good Gifts.
Recently, we were reminded in a sermon that the question should not be ~
"Why do bad things happen?" But, rather ~ "Why does anything good happen?"
True, isn't it? We have our very breath because
the Great God of Heaven gives it to us!!
With Love, Camille

Hello Camille~
I am so thankful for a warm fire~ a sweet family~ a blazing fire and chili as the snow storm is about to hit!
Hope you are warm and cozy tonight!
Oh I am ALL smiles!!! How wonderful! Sister says she is "happy for him!" And yes-why does anything good happen? The children were complaining that such and such wasn't fair. I told them how wonderful it is that life isn't fair or we would all be enemies of God. How sweet and precious and for our benefit is it that life isn't fair?!
Love the picture with your tree in the background! And dear Emma reading! Sweet memories!

The blessings they do abound. You are right ~ Why does anything good happen? ~ grace, grace, and more grace.

Oh My Friend,
These pictures are such a Blessing. Austin looks great!!
YOUR HOME IS SO WARM AND I KNOW FILLED WITH LOVE FOR OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND FOR EACH OTHER.
You faith is teaching me to view all things in the light of eternity. To wrap our lives around His Divine Love and Care and Trust Him during our trials. To consecrate all of our days to His service.
