Remember this post? We had a great time (most of the month) recording our daily blessings. Some days it was hard to choose just one to write down (so we didn't). I know there are days it can be difficult to find just one blessing amidst the pain. Lord, we are so grateful for all of the blessings you bestow on us everyday!
It was so much fun to reflect each day on all of the great things He does in our lives.
Without further ado.....

PS- I don't expect that any of you (all 5 of you that read my blog!) read this, but it was so fun to do and now so fun to go back over them and remember all of the good things from the month. It's so easy to focus on all of the hardships and pain a month can bring and so easy to forget about all of those moments (big and small) that make us smile and laugh. I definitely want to do this every year, and maybe more than just in November!
