I love when you do these posts on thankfulness! It really inspires me to look at my life and see how blessed I am ;)

Brianna - I'm so glad you find inspiration in these posts. Literally counting my blessings every day has become a simple but very effective way for me to remember all my blessings. They are a visual reminder of the dozens and dozens of ways that God speaks His love for me every day of my life. If you haven't already done so, I'd encourage you to find a pretty notebook and start making your own list. You'll be so glad that you did!
