I’m tired. I have too much to do. I want to either settle in on the big, comfy couch and read my Bible, write and pray in my beautiful journal, and spend some time with Jesus OR just go to bed. If I’m not careful, I don’t end up doing either thing and I waste a little bit of time here and a little bit there.
Thankful for my blessings!
Instead of frittering away an hour on Facebook, Pinterest, or random websites, I’ll share some blessings and then go to bed. There is nothing quite as transforming as pausing to be thankful.

Wow! 20 blessings! I want to be you!

Love the blessings and that family picture! Can you send it to me?! Can you photoshop in Tim?
