That's not what I'm going to write about... don't get me wrong, I have a few things that I want to work on this year both physical and emotional. But those things are for me... maybe someday I will feel confident to share them with everyone.
I have been trying for three years to write out 1000 gifts-blessings... so far I have fallen far short of the mark. But I try again this year. I find the focus on my blessings a positive in my life. It changes how I see things. I have found that when I am feeling particularly beaten up, smacked down, overwhelmed and tired... not the sleepy kind, but the down in your bones tired. When I am in the middle of these times focusing on ...
Philippians 4:8
Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.
Some days are harder than others, which makes those days the ones where I really need to do it.
So I guess I'm writing this to be held accountable for this year... ask me January 2016 how many gifts I wrote down.
If you interested in where I got these ideas read this...
