Blessings Journal

What would it be like if you took a few minutes every day and jotted down what blessings you experienced during each day? Do you think that you could find a blessing, even one each day? I think that you can do it!

Find a journal or notebook and start today. I learned about this from my good friend Glenna Hadley. At our annual Thanks Giving Party, she stood to share about taking moments each day to write down the blessings she experienced. She listed simple things like a smile from her grandchild or her husband, Joe getting her coffee. Simple things.

So, for my birthday, which is in December, my friend Gwen Pangborn gave me a blank journal and on the front page she wrote the words Blessings Journal and gave it to me with the reminder of Glenna's sharing. She encouraged me to do what Glenna had suggested.

I have begun to do that. Each day after my Bible reading and before I turn out the light, I ask myself what blessings I experienced that day. I have written in simple things like "finally finished a letter" or "slept in" or "worked on geneology today." I have also written bigger things as well like "Dad's PSA numbers came back the lowest that they could be!"

It is a wonderful thing to do. I would encourage you to find a time of day that you can do it consistently, it is important for you to do it daily. So, go out and get that journal or notebook and start this today.

Blessing,

Carol
