Naming 'thanks' in November... today

 
On the 1st of November we decided to be intentional about writing out all our blessings every day.  We live next to a working farm and I am so grateful for this patch of earth.  It's a gift to drive past this every morning, especially now when the sky is so blue and beautiful.


"In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy."

~ Henri J.M Nouwen
