Last Monday I combined my 31 days series with my weekly Gift List of counting my blessings...today I want to do the same, but a little differently. :) Today I want to pray prayers of blessing and gratitude for my children's hearts...that God would grow in them a heart of gratitude and contentment. "May my child learn to be content whatever the circumstances. Knowing what it is to be in need, and knowing what it is to have plenty. May my child learn the secret of being content ...

Broken ~ the next chapter in my depression story…
I have had so many thoughts running through my mind to share with you, dear friends. Most of them haven't made it to this little space, but tonight, I write with the goal of awareness.

Philippians 2:14-16 I wrote this the other day for the Philippians study...and it really pertains to the Gift List of gratitude, so I wanted to re-post it here as ...
