The art of deep seeing makes gratitude possible. And it is the art of gratitude that makes joy possible. Isn’t joy the art of God? Ann Voskamp
In my struggle with depression, one of the powerful things the Lord has taught me is to count my blessings. It started when I read One Thousand Gifts
It continued as I learned to Pray the Scriptures. The combination of gratitude and God’s Word is just about unstoppable, y’all. There is just no way for God not to transform your heart with those 2 things.
Gratitude + Praying God’s Word = Heart Transformation
Am I saying that life just magically becomes awesome? No. What I am saying is that God transforms your heart, He helps you to begin to see things from a different perspective, He gives you joy in the middle of brokenness. Beauty for ashes. When I begin naming my gifts, counting my blessings, the Lord reminds me that “God is always good and I am always loved.” Ann Voskamp
Because I’m learning how important gratitude is in my own life, I decided to create a pretty, free gratitude journal for each of you! Kind of like my gift to you.
Print as many pages as you like if you want yours to be longer! There are 17 pages to name your blessings on, but you can print as many as you like!
Frugal gift idea: Print off this journal, 3-hole punch, place in lovely binder and gift to a friend!

Love this, Candace. Thanks so much!!!
Oh Yes! and Amen! Thank you so much! Depression, choosing to fight back, Ann Voskamp’s 1000 Gifts, Praying Scripture, all mirrors my journey. I am so thankful for God’s grace and mercy in leading me out of the futile darkness and guilt over it, to victory in the Spirit. I think one of the worst aspects of depression for a Christian is the guilt – you know you are blessed abundantly, loved completely, held securely and have a hope and a future, so why the depression. He has been so faithful and my prayer is that all who will use your gift will be as blessed as we have been by the realization and notice of all that is good, true, noble, right, pure and precious in each day and that they will take the time to sink into those things and revel in our great God. Blessings to you and your family this Christmas and thanks again, for all you share with us.
