gratitudes...

Once again I am joining Ann Voskamp and The Gratitude Community by counting my multitude of blessings.

Hers is a must read... but I love this realization:

"“God doesn’t ask me to be perfect; He asks me to praise.”

I love love love that. Now if I can just remember it!

Oh and this just expounds her thoughts:

"I simply need have a grateful heart to give Him glory.


Gratitude in all things is the only thing God asks.

Can I take each seeming problem and turn it back to praise?

That alone is the one thing that is needful."
