This summer I've really been focusing on my Ebenezer...and I had never thought of the small joys as part of my Ebenezer, but that's a great perspective. One thing that I'm thinking about doing (and I stole this idea, it's not mine) is writing an Ebenezer that covers my life...all the milestones that have shaped who I am today. I'm sure if I write it out, God's hand will be obvious! :-) I love this post Chantel!

I've done that for over 2 years now... and looking back, I can see how it has changed my perspective on life in general. There is always something good and beautiful in each day. Always something to thank God for! It was because of you that I was inspired to start writing down in the back of my regular paper journal at least one thing I was thankful for each and every day.

There is always something good and beautiful in each day.
Always something to thank God for!

I read it on your blog recently and meant to comment there. It's so true - how can we be thankful if we don't live thankfulness? we'd get into such a routine of 'unthankfulness' that when it was time to be thankful we wouldn't know how. Oh Lord, fill me with gratitude! Thanks so much Chantel for writing this. I read it on your blog recently and meant to comment there.

Thanks, Chantel for the beautiful reminder. "Sometimes the heart can be painfully loaded with cares and heartaches, and the eyes so filled with tears that it seems nearly impossible to see any thing beautiful or good. That’s the time to start looking." So true! I loved those rich, inspiring words. Blessings! I love that idea! Thanks, Chantel for the beautiful reminder.
