Regardless of how this year has been, or any year really, there is always blessings to be thankful for. I began keeping a praise report and gratitude journal. We need to open everyday with praise to God for all He does and continues doing. There are gifts in everyday. It is a matter of perspective.

I encourage you to make your own list. Below are some blessings on mine:

1. My dog, Princess

2. My mama, family, and friends

3. Air, clouds, sun, and nature

4. Months and seasons

5. The fact that I am here in this moment for such a time as this

6. My home and town

7. The happy memories of this year

8. Inner growth and lessons learned

9. Unconditional and agape love of God

10. Having Christmas decorations out and being able to gift things to others
