I want to live a more content and grateful life.
I thought to myself, how does this happen, how do I grow more grateful?
The simple answer is to work at it. Look around for the good, for the blessings, for the gifts. “Not of gifts I want. But of gifts I have.”
The whole idea of counting gifts is from Ann Voskamp, and she has inspire me greatly!
Each Monday, Ann, and many others, gather and record their blessings. Record their journey.
“Too often I miss Him, oblivious, blind. I don’t see all the good things that He is giving me, gracing me with, brushing my life with.” I echo these words. This has become my life.
So, now I want to change, I want to live a life more full of Him! I want “to see Him as near, present, everywhere, showering me with good things.”
This is the start. The start of a life lived more fully for His glory.

I blog regularly on Tumblr at Counting Gifts. I look for gifts in my life, and then write them down. Here are some recent gifts I’ve recorded:
