Gift List: July 26 edition
The unthankful heart...discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings! -Henry Ward Beecher
The gratitude list continues as I find more and more reasons to give thanks to the Father, giver of EVERY good gift!

beautiful photos ... and the whirr of a box fan speaks summertime to me. great post.
ReplyDeleteThose photos are so beautiful. And I love the quote. As I listened to my son griping this morning about something that happened two days ago, I realized: I have to talk about thankfulness, not just at bedtime, not just in blog posts, but all the time, if I want him to grow up with a joyful, thankful heart.
