Today I came across this great inspiring and encouraging blog: Holy Experience . I realized that it was the home of a meme called Multitude Monday: One Thousands gifts, which I had come across before, and thought was a great thing to do.  But what is it exactly? The idea is to stop and ponder at God's goodness to us in everyday life, and literrally count our blessings. So, in this end of year time I decided that I would join in the fun and engage in this exercise of counting my many blessings. So, here we go: 1: Family 2: Loving and serving husband 3: Mobility, whether on  my feet or any other means like our car 4: The laughter and joy of children 5: A new pair of shoes 6: A lighted Christmas tree 7: A working dishwasher 8: A Great tasting dinner 9: Christmas cards received in the mail 10: The joy of giving 11: Sleeping and quiet children 12: The warmth of home Have a great day,
