Another couple of weeks have passed. I am keeping busy, but not any busier
than I am at home in Turkana. It
is just harder to do ‘daily’ things when you are on others’ schedules. I find I have to really work to keep my
daily routines since I am not in the same place longer than a few days at a
time. I have continued to count my
many blessings and gifts from the Lord.
I may not get them written down every night, but I have tried to
remember them until I can. This
really helps me to stay focused on what the Lord has been doing each day. I need to work at getting back to
writing them down before I sleep!
It is much easier to remember for that day if I do it that night. How about you? Are you counting your blessings? Do you write them down? It really does help lift your spirits
to remember the many things you have to be thankful for each day.
Here is my list from the past couple weeks. I continually find that I forget to
take pictures even though I usually have my phone/camera with me. I’m thankful that my thanks can still
be given even if I don’t have a picture!
