There is much to be grateful for in regard to journey mercies. Things that could have gone wrong that didn’t, things that could have been good and turned out great. It’s something I appreciate especially as I am still on the journey. When I think about peace, however, I think not just about the journey, […]
Read More December Thanks #06: DestinationThe very thought of living without words is weird to me. That which I visualise and capture aurally I only know to express through the method of words.

The more I consider the word, the more I appreciate it as a relational thing. Someone blesses me – that says something about the person and their connection to me. Being blessed is no even so […]
Read More December Thanks #01: FamilyI came across this and thought it would be a great way to end 2016 by embarking on this intentional challenge of daily thanksgiving. With a blog that I write on virtually every day then there’s somewhere for me to share that challenge. So from tomorrow expect 30 days of thanksgiving. Feel free to join […]
Read More The Bright Side Challenge: 30 Days of ThanksgivingI am reliably informed that across the pond folks be celebrating something with a Turkey. I came across this video by John Green who I enjoy which fits in so superbly with the theme. So I am giving thanks for John Green and for also knowing that the basics are covered. For His Name’s Sake […]
Read More For Those Who Have The Basics CoveredThanks. The expression of gratitude is a great habit to practice and when it comes to birthdays it’s an even better time to put that habit to good effect. I Was There I have little to no great recollection of where I was about this time last year. In general, however, I know that I […]
