Multitude Monday....on Wednesday: Gifts 252 - 268

Moving my Gratitude List to Wednesday again due to my commitment to the Fun in the Summer Sun Event, which is running every Monday throughout the summer......so this may not be the last time I move it.  = )

Whether on Monday or Wednesday, or any other day of the week ~ my Gratitude List will continue.....

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.

My Mustard Seed Planting verse of the week:

"Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren, especially concerning the day you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, ‘Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children."

~ Deuteronomy 4:9-10
