Cultivating thankfulness in my life has been such an important step. I choose a couple years ago to take time and be thankful for everything the Lord sends my way. It is definitely a CHOICE not a natural personality trait. But once you make it into a habit it is such a blessing! Around the same time the Lord convicted me in this are I found
Eyes of Wonder! And I saw her amazingly beautiful journals and decided I wanted one too! Mine is a little different.
I decorate it (which is such a creative outlet for me, and looking through it at the beautiful pictures later is uplifting as well!) and in mine I write little things to be thankful about, things I never want to forget (chubby crinkly baby wrists) and I also write what I am praying for. It is amazing to look back later and see how God answered those prayers! I also add inspiring quotes, or Bible verses/lyrics that mean something special tome. I dont write in it every day, not even every week necessarily, but it is something I really enjoy and wanted to share with you! Here are just a couple glimpses into my thankfulness journal :)
And its been fun seeing everyone else who has
blogged about theirs since I started mine! I did post about mine a couple years ago when I started it but then when Jewel's deleted her blog I deleted my post (since it linked back to her) but now hers is back and I figured it was time to share again!
