My Many Blessings 1-50
I started a list of Thankfulness back on November. This daily listing of things to be thankful for and remembering my blessings, really helped me when I felt like I was spiraling into depression. Since then I have felt the Lord nudging me to make a list of Thankfulness. During my Sunday School class on prayer I was convicted to follow through on my nudging from the Holy Spirit. Then I was lead to do make my list public. (I will be adding to it so I is a work in progess not at all complete ever). I'm going to list my November blessings list first and then continue from there.
