I love lists. I'm not always good at looking at the list after I've made it...but it is so much fun to write down all the things I hope to accomplish. This list is different, but is so much more satisfying! Its about thanking God for the little things.
True joy is not bound by our circumstances. This is one of those truths that I am bound and determined to get through my thick skull. My circumstances are going to be good some days and bad some days but I so want to live like the people in Psalm 84 who in their pilgrimage go from strength to strength.
This spiritual exercise from www.aholyexperience.com is one of those ways to lift our minds from the distortion of self-focus to the Giver of all good things.
Join me in journaling your own simple thanksgivings.
