Challenged and encouraged by her words, I have been counting the multitude of blessings for several months now. The first five hundred (plus) can be found over here. On Mondays, I count. A wonderful way to begin the week; giving thanks for the blessings obvious and some that don’t feel blessed at the time. But He is always faithful and every good and perfect gift is from His hand. In all things, we give thanks.

My Ears Are Tired 
I haven’t been doing the Monday linkups regularly, but I’ve been thinking exactly what you said: that it’s a good way to start the week. Especially when I’m tired & grumpy, like today.
So I think I’m going to try to plan my week around it…
I join you in gratitude for sun kissed noses and shoulders, swimming pool and cherry limonaid and church picnics. Your list is encouraging.

I too love sprinklers, sunkiseed noeses and shoulders and church picnics. Summertime!
I also love the name and description of your blog. I’m visiting for the first time and look forward to looking around a bit!
Thanks so much! I am in the process of moving over to WordPress, so there’s not much here yet. Feel free to come back and visit…I’m adding more as I have time!
