I keep a journal of "gratitude's." Which in itself makes me smile, whenever I re-read pages from past months and years. This is just a short list, of a few things, I'm thankful for everyday, year around.. and not just on Thanksgiving Day. It has always been, what others might consider "the small things" in life, that make me the happiest. What others may take for granted or may not be able to see the blessing in, usually bring me the greatest joy! It never has taken much to make me happy.
Today I'm thankful for the redeeming blood of Yeshua.
Salvation.
The precious Ruach Hakodesh.
Love. Kindness. Smiles. Thoughtfulness. Integrity. Genuine concern. Humility. Honor.

Compassionate mothers.
Family, friends, and even my enemies.

''Reflect on today's blessings, because every man has plenty. Do not lament over past misfortunes we all have some."
Be blessed and encouraged today. God loves you, and so do I!
