January






Multitudes. The whole point of documenting these multitudes is to realize how small and special they are. They aren't anything huge or significant. Just the little splashes of happiness that touch our every day lives.


Sometimes this world looks pretty bleak. Depression, grief, and fear cover the sky like the heavy banks of gray clouds that cover the January sun.We don't see the tiny blessings. The little flashes of glitter in our lives.

What are some of your multitudes? Please join me in this!

~ Heat

~Sweet friend who created a sweet gift for me and my kitty.

~A Cat who chases her tail, then when she notices that she is being watched drops down and pretends to be the epitome of dignified cat-hood.

~ Late Christmas gift from my sister (a tiny "pocket watch" pendant on a necklace. :)

~ Giggling with my siblings as we all turn every last pocket in hopes of finding the one last quarter needed for the vending machine. :)

  1. Thankfulness is such a rewarding discipline, isn't it? As we realize what God has given us, our hearts overflow with gratefulness for who He is and how He cares for us. I have been trying to be more thankful for the little things, too.
    Here are some of my multitudes:

    ~A good night's sleep (and that's a BIG thing these days! :-))
    ~My dishwasher and washing machine :-)
    ~Baby smiles
    ~Little boy's stories and imagination
    ~Fuzzy warm socks

    Hugs to you, Amanda,
    Leslie

  2. I enjoy reading your blog very much and, yes, I have multitudes of blessings that I enjoy everyday!! What a great Heavenly Father I have. Here is my list for today.

    -the unsearchable riches in Christ! Eph.3:8 ( Let that fire up your day)
    -a voice to sing "All Praise to God who Reigns Above"
    -glasses to read the words
    -smell of freshly brewed coffee
    -little girl playing "Jesus Loves Me" on the piano
    -majestic music
    -finches busy at the feeder
    -bare trees revealing the twists and turns of the branches
    -reading a book that reminds me to "enjoy the moment"
    -encouragement in Scripture to
    give thanks in all circumstances
    rejoice evermore
    pray without ceasing
    ...for this is God"s will for me in Christ Jesus 1Thess.5:16-18

    Stay warm and rejoice in Christ!
