I found myself full of disappointment, discontentment, regret.
I longed for a change. I needed a change. I was ready to change.
I remembered a book a friend had been reading several months back, so I logged onto my Amazon account and two days later I sat down and started the book that began a much needed new journey of graditude and hope.
"Thanks is what multiples the joy and makes any life large, and I hunger for it.. To name a thing is to manifest the meaning and value God gave it." Ann Voskamp
Each day I add to my list of gifts that I find. Each day my perspective for seeing the gifts becomes a little broader, a little clearer. Each day I realize that I am so blessed RIGHT. WHERE. I. AM. In the midst of chores and schedules and dirty diapers, I find myself right were I am meant to be at this very moment in history. This journey isn't always the route I would have chosen, but God WILL use it. He will use every pit stop and road block and detour to shower His blessings on me, if I will only choose to see them.
Todays gifts:
1. Warm, cozy blankets for sleeping with the windows open on cool fall nights
2. All the littles sleeping in sweetly past 7 am
3. A few moments just be and my oldest before heading off to work
4. A midday text from my BFF
5. Candy and gifts from my boss for RT week (happy RT week!)
6. A good laugh shared with a coworker
How about you? Can you name 5 blessings RIGHT NOW?
