Continuing to Count

This week, as I continue to count, I realize how this new habit is really changing me. There is more joy in each day. I am more aware of the blessings each moment holds, and I am constantly looking for His next gift. There is amazing fulfillment looking for the beautiful in every situation.

I am even seeing how a life of gratitude can be contagious. I can see in my husband's eyes that he is living in each moment and looking for the good. My daughter is learning to pray thanks to God, instead of just asking for more. I pray God will continue to open all of our hearts to Him and that counting His gifts will become a habit that will never leave.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17
