"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson

Unexpected blessings

God is constantly stirring in me to cultivate a heart of gratitude. One of the things I started a few months ago is journaling unexpected blessings. I love reading over the list again and again as I remember God's goodness and faithfulness to provide not only the things we need at the time but also so many fun, amazing surprises. These are just a few....shoes, giftcards, numerous meals out, random checks in the mail, really great hand-me-down clothes, free Starbucks coffee, flowers from my hubby, steak dinner at a friends, books, surprise visit from my sister, bonus check, clothes and toys for Brit and so much more. The mere fact that I'm so undeserving, makes me so much more grateful.
