gratitude journal

This year, we have taken on a new habit. During our evening devotions (we are studying the life of Christ during the eight weeks from Epiphany to Lent) we are opening a new book and enscribing there the blessings we daily receive. 


As a family, a bonded set on the path together to know God better, we find new ways to follow Him together.


Each evening that we meet around our table, light candles, pray, read scripture, talk, we also take our own pen in hand  and measure the day in our own distinctive way. 


I look and see the coloured ink, the unique scrawl each of us has and the difference in perspective, the eyes with which we see the world and for what we are thankful. 


We number the blessings, not as a ritual but merely in helping to count them.
