Blessings this Week: 06.16.2017

The past few busy months have been chock full of many things, but the one thing distinctly missing has been this practice of counting the blessings. There have been so many, but they flit in and out of my consciousness like the barn swallow that are swooping past my window as I write this. Barely recognized before my mind is on to something else... and I miss the opportunity to reach out and take hold of them, to claim the blessings as mind, to give thanks for them.

I have to be intentional about finding and naming the blessings, or I miss them.

Lazy Sunday afternoons, and a silly dog who makes us laugh (especially when he walked right off the side of the dock and plunged into the water.... he was so surprised!) 

...   ...   ...

Our camp family, who have welcomed us back so warmly

...   ...   ...

Grumpy wildlife on the road

...   ...   ...

Iowa sunsets

Bees buzzing around our raspberry bushes

...   ...   ...

Family coming to visit and play at the beach

...   ...   ...

Beautiful afternoons at the lake, and two great boat drivers

...   ...   ...

The change of pace that summer's brought us already

...   ...   ...

Here's to intentionally capturing the blessings!
