A few of the blogs I read have a list of endless gifts and through their lists, I've been encouraged to find all the blessings I'm given each day as well.
I'm seeking to be intentional and focus on all the small gifts that I'm given throughout my days. My desire is to get a glimpse of the greatness of God and His love for us by choosing to focus on Gratitude.
"Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world" John Milton
Gratitude is that of sinners made saints.
And so, the list begins . . .
