It was awesome. Our relationship blossomed, and it was purely because I made the commitment to focus only on the positives.
I've watched as others applied this same principal to their whole lives. This year, I've decided to do it as well.
I've been so negative. I've not been actively involved. I've been lazy, and selfish, and then wondered why my family isn't the way I always wanted it to be. This needs to change. Desperately, and immediately.
So, every Monday, I'm joining with Ann Voskamp over at A Holy Experience and will be paying attention to the little things in my life. Posting 20 things each week will bring me to 1000 at the end of the year.
1. Sunday afternoons in the pool
2. A new house with space
3. A husband who does the dishes
4. A slower pace of life
5. A guest worship leader (oh my)
6. Friends over for new years eve
7. Adam's week off work
8. My eldest son, who helps so much
9. Two new baby teeth
10. Fluffing my new space
11. Money that just seems to streeeetch
12. Night-time rain
13. Exciting prayer times, proclaiming the year of the Lord's favour (Luke4:19)
14. Slow school holiday mornings
15. Mario Kart
16. Baby hello hand waves in the morning
17. Friends who help out
18. Lots of new books to read at bedtimes
19. Children tanning up from the Summer sun
20. The grace of a whole brand new year
You can join in here :) Let's make this year the most beautiful, yes?
