We live in a world of miracles; of that I am certain.
Which shouldn't surprise us, because its a world created by a loving Lord who wants to bless us.
And He does. Everyday.
To find those blessings we just have to look, maybe a little harder than usual, and maybe in places we wouldn't expect, but if we look I know we will find them because He is in everything.
To help me look I am starting a little project, a list, of 1000 things I am thankful for.
I don't know when I'll finish - but when I do, I hope it will be with an increased understanding of all that He does for me, every. single. day.
I am thankful for...
