Happy November!
It’s all over Facebook and Twitter right now to do the “Thirty Days of Thankfulness” and I think that is a great idea.
I am grateful for so many things every
day that to single one out to post about each day can be challenging (maybe
that’s the point…). Also, it can be
trying for me to remember to go and post to either site (or both) each day my
about gratefulness. So, I have decided
to write this “Blog of Blessings” and list my Thirty Days of Thankfulness right
here and then post links to it on both my Twitter and Facebook!

BIBLE) and aware of the fact that I need to be spending A LOT more time with it
on a daily basis!
