This is just the start of a journey of faith coupled with a determination to rise above the circumstances I'm in. Love your suggestion about catching ourselves when we complain and reversing it by being thankful instead! A great idea. Thank you so much for your input here and support in general. Stay blessed in Him. :)Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-11233596423629958842013-01-11T21:52:14.495-08:002013-01-11T21:52:14.495-08:00How to be grateful in all things... still working ...How to be grateful in all things... still working on this one but I think one of the keys is to catch ourselves when we complain and instead think of one thing we can be thankful for in the situation. <br /><br />Thanks so much for this post.testhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422254064282770144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-43681126812270357712013-01-11T13:25:57.457-08:002013-01-11T13:25:57.457-08:00My pleasure, friend.

Your blog blesses me tremendously too. It also amazes me how often God is placing similar thoughts in us at the same time so that we laugh and marvel over the shared God-incidences! Lovely to hear you are writing down God's touches on your life too. We have so many reasons to be grateful for His work in and through Ann Voskamp that is affecting many lives for the better.<br />Enjoy the diary (it sounds lovely) and listing God's personal grace notes to you this year!

I am thankful that I have found such community through the blogs, Twitter, Facebook - I know that as Christians we need to be 'out there' where perhaps people are not so understanding of the way we think and the things we write, but it is essential to me to find a home where people root for each other.<br />Thankyou. <br />I have a beautiful John Muir diary this year and among the breathtaking photos of the natural world I'm writing down where I see God each day.
