musings on [ gratitude ]

I will bless the Lord at all times,

His praise shall continually be on my mouth.

[ psalm 34:1 ]

Struggles that cause me to look heavenward.

We all have them, perhaps yours look like a house full of littles that cling and clamor for your every attention at every moment of the day; or maybe your struggles look like looming to-do lists and demands on you that seem to weigh you down. Whatever your hard days and wrestling look like, I hope they point you heavenward; that your faith, not your fear, is the thing that presses you onward. Let's be continually grateful for the things that keep us in prayer and constant dependence on Him.

PICTURES.

Hubster and I were so blessed to have an abundance of photographers at our wedding, and as time goes by, the pictures are beginning to flood our screens-- we love it! I quite feel as if we've just gotten married again, it's so great! Be looking for more photos to come!

Time. Time. Time.

These past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to go with Hubster on the road; we mostly frequent East Texas and Northern Louisiana, not glamorous places but nothing can replace spending time together. There are definitely cons (limited time to get things done at home etc) but they are far outweighed by the pros!

Allergy Induced Asthma

Indeed, this pesky take your breath away symptom has been the recent cause for me to spend some spontaneous time with my family. Breathing normally is easy to trade with estate sale shopping, talking, and simple time spent in The Everyday with my mama and sisters! 

Limited Internet Connection

Yes! This is something that I've been surprisingly grateful for! Let me explain, in our Gypsy Casita we don't have the luxury of an unlimited wi-fi connection and I personally have a limited data plan on my phone, both of which make those pinterest bunny trails and youtube marathons impossible, BUT it also means that I've been able to totally repaint our RV, organize, organize, organize, and continue making it into our home. I had no idea how much time was slipping away before but now I'm continually surprised by how much I can do sans distractions! I'm actually doing my pinterest projects. Go figure.

Isn't it neat to see how gratefulness truly turns everything into enough? What are YOU grateful for?
