What a great idea to count your blessing each day and not just once a week. Sounds like you have a lot to be thankful for. Thanks for sharing. (visiting from AHE)
ReplyDelete"Only by His grace do I continue to choose to count His blessings and give thanks for what I have." It is only by His grace. I love Ethiopian food and coffee. I enjoyed reading your list, especially Ethipian food and coffee, what you made on day 28--yum!, and #687. Enjoyed visiting here from Ann's place:) www.toshowthemjesus.com
