Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Psalm 40:5
His works and thoughts toward us cannot be numbered. Think about that.
There are over 31 million seconds in a year. How many blessings do you think you received last year? If you are like me, you listed several in your journal. But what about those you don’t see or hear in those seconds? I’m pretty sure those blessings would fill a journal or two. So, with that in mind, do you think we have a reason to praise our God?
Unexpected Blessings
I had an extra reason to give thanks when I opened my door one gray morning and found this beauty. Nothing kept her from enjoying her Creator’s offering scattered on the ground. I love when deer pause and look at me. She allowed me to take several shots before leaving.
New Year Blessings
I’m not a Word of the Year kind of girl. But this year is different. As I pondered the word faithful, I began to think about God’s faithfulness to me, and how I can be faithful to Him. I’m enjoying the songs He has given me to study. I can’t wait to share!

Good evening Gail. I love your photos. Deer are the most graceful of creatures, both in action and demeanor. Your word is one to carry you through every mountain and every valley. Praise God! Still tossing around some words for 2022. May His peace be yours. In Christ, Julie
Hello, Julie! I love to watch deer. I like the word faithful because I think of God and myself. He is faithful, and I should be too. Blessings, my friend.
Amen! I am still praying about a word. Lots going with my new position. Need some heart space…
Praying for heart space and your word! ❤
Thank you so much Gail. I will keep you posted 🙂
I love your word for 2022. What a faithful Father we have. As He has been faithful to me, I have no other choice than to be faithful to Him. That comes through trust during this difficult time I find myself in. I hear him saying “Take heart, daughter.” Blessings in the new year, Gail.
Nancy, you take the very thoughts from my heart. Blessings on your new year, dear friend! ❤
Jesus is very faithful and helped me get through another difficult year.
Last year I added several more Journal. I have my basic prayer and praise journal. I think different types of Journaling can be very beneficial in remembering to praise the Lord for everything that He has done for usm
Sandra, I’m so thankful for the Lord’s help. I think your “different” journal idea is a good on. ❤

Amen! Thank you. Blessings on your new year! ❤
I am thankful for His blessings. Thank you for your encouraging words and your friendship. 🙂
Melissa, I treasure you. You are a light to others. Always spreading cheer wherever you are. Keep shining! ❤
Beautiful thoughts and pics. God definitely is Faithful!
Thanks, A. He is that!
His thoughts toward us…that’s a marvel in itself. That the Creator of the universe thinks of ME. Faithful is a wonderful word to dwell on for a year.
I agree, Stephanie. “His thoughts toward us” is an awesome thought! ❤
You are absolutely right! God is so faithful to us and there are so many blessings each day that we don’t know about. What an amazing and loving Father we have! 🥰🙌♥️🙏
Yes, we do! We are blessed beyond measure. ❤
Beautiful post. I look forward to hearing more on that word. Mine this year is “grace.” What a wonderful Father we have Who loves us so much, He gives Grace to the Faithful. ❤
Thanks, Betty. I agree! So thankful for His amazing grace! ❤
Beautiful post, Gail. I think faithful is the perfect word for 2022!
Thanks, Jill!
