Giving Thanks! (#10 of 30)

I’m thankful for the gift of my sister, with whom I share a love of this scripture.

For I know the plans I have for you,
declares the LORD,
plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.
- Jeremiah 29:11

Powerful, comforting words. A reassuring promise. Wednesday is my sweet sister’s birthday, and I wish her a future filled with the Lord’s plans! Would could be better?

I like viewing this image best on the black background.

I’m dedicating November to giving thanks! For years, I’ve kept a gratitude journal in which I jot down things that I’m thankful for. During this month when we’ll celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, I’m going to take my gratitude for God’s good gifts one step further by photographing a particularly meaningful gift each day for my 365 project! I've always viewed the subjects of my images as gifts, but I'm looking forward to this month of intentionally labeling them as such. This will enable me to spend a bit more time dwelling on God's goodness and offering the thanks that He deserves. If anyone would like to join me in this celebration of grace, please do! I’ll be tagging my images: all-is-grace.
