You open my eyes and make me see the wonders of the Lord over and over again.<br />I've often felt I've been walking on bended knees this year.<br />My purpose for the next year is writing about all the marvellous ways God has been helping me and my family out, over and over again.<br /><br />God never promised us a life without trials, but over and over again he has promised to be with us every step of the way.<br />Till this day he hasn't broken his promises. Even if I have been unfaithful and faltered, he has never let me go or forsaken me.<br />Grace over grace.<br /><br />I'm so impressed by your photographies.<br />I do hope you get time to work more with your artistic gifts. I "see" a book about children from a child's point of view. You have the rare gift of empathy as well as communicating with both adult and children through text and pictures.<br />Your works are coloured with love.<br /><br />Happy and blessed New Year to you and Greg<br />from FelisolFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-51315064105962831042011-12-27T00:11:55.466-07:002011-12-27T00:11:55.466-07:00Love every post your write....I am going to get ba...Love every post your write....I am going to get back to counting my blessings and putting them down.....hate getting distracted<br /><br />Happy New Year!Teresa @ Grammy Girlfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151128140345216126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-4824286830857234102011-12-26T22:36:36.675-07:002011-12-26T22:36:36.675-07:00I love hearing about your traditions Debbie!

I am off work until a week from tomorrow. #284, doesn't it give you so much gratification to help others with their writing? #287, so thankful Greg's mom is getting stronger. #289, Oh I haven't seen that movie yet.

I've not been able to visit many of my fave blogs these past months,including yours... nevertheless nothing changes in my heart about you.<br /><br />I've been to the 17 Mile Drive in Carmel, and I have a photo of the lone cypress in my photo album... yes it is a beautiful scene. So glad you won the canvas print, and your dad will surely be inspired to paint again. It will give him a purpose to keep him healthy and alive! In our Bible study group we are studying Daniel and what excites us is the reality that Jesus is coming back sooner than we think... in this generation! So who knows... many of us who are alive today may never experience death! <br /><br />Christmas and year end blessings to you dear friend.<br /><br />Love<br />LidiaCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-73167769383601570572011-12-26T16:21:55.491-07:002011-12-26T16:21:55.491-07:00I'm glad I started doing the 1000 gifts count ...I'm glad I started doing the 1000 gifts count too.

I've been so thankful that my Dad was able to enjoy Christmas this year.<br /><br />I love the idea of everyday blessings and am afraid I would be one that sometimes overlooks those. I'm going to make a more concerted effort this new year to do just that. Thanks for this post!
