Joy Dare: {Week 2 – #28-48}
As each day comes to us refreshed and anew, so does my gratitude renew itself daily. The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world. ~Terri Guillemets

Hi Barbie, I am counting my gifts too. I missed this Monday. I will continue next Monday. I love my Keurig too. A Christmas gift. Love my pillows, encouraging texts and many other things on your list. Keep counting, friends. God sees you and smiles. Hugs
Thank you Tiffany!
Such great gifts!!! God DOES delight in us; and according to Psalm 16:6 we have a “delightful inheritance.” I love the word delight!!
Love it all, Barbie, especially #29, precious calm.
Blessings to you, my dear.
Much love,
Marcia

Beautiful, thank you Barbie.
Friends, legos, God’s love, sloppy wet kisses . . . I am all wrapped up here. Grateful for your heart, Barbie.
Thank you for stopping by today.
I look forward to reading your list!
Getting a letter in the mail? You are truly blessed — they are a rare thing! Lovely and blessed gifts you’ve shared.
Thank you my friend! I really want to get back to writing notes and letters as well. It speaks volumes when you know someone has taken the time to sit down and write a note.
Yay for productive days! Chicken soup… yum. Yay for husbands that can bbq! Letters in the mail are just the best. Doesn’t happen often… makes it all the more special! 🙂
Yes, I love a letter, postcard, note, even a post it note! Blessings my friend.
what a beautiful list! i love the old fashioned letters as well!
I use to have all kinds of odds and ends paper to write little notes on. I want to get back to taking the time out of my busy week to write a letter, or even a note, to encourage someone.
Love your list. The “letters in the mail” has stole my heart. I remember the day and now it only seems as if bills come from the postmaster. May I send out letters to bless others this week. Blessings sweet friend.

Oh, I love my Keurig! I’m not a coffee girl, but I use it for my English Breakfast Tea.
So thankful HE delights in me. Like you, I’m blessed to have friends who help me through the hard times.

I love English Breakfast tea! I also love that the Keurig makes a good cup of iced coffee.
