Hello everyone! It's a busy week for me, so this will be a short post, but I wanted to list my gifts of His blessings in my life. I'm so excited! I am VERY close to listing 1,000 gifts/blessings! I recently watched this video again.....it's such a great reminder that we need to slow down and pay attention to even the simple moments we live!!! So I wanted to share it with you again, too! Enjoy!(It's best, when seen in full screen, go to the small square next to the YouTube words.) Have a wonderful week! Counting my gifts with the September Joy Dare : The joys of lake life: 3 gifts ugly-beautiful 961. Raw emotions can be so painful, but also help me experience life to it's fullest! 962. When I'm too busy, God slows me down by allowing obstacles to come into my life, often obstacles I don't like. 963. It seems like life speeds up when I'm doing fun things and slows down when I'm doing something I dislike doing! A gift
