I've seen it at a number of blogs I visit, Multitude Monday. Recalling the daily blessings, great and small, from our Father. And after reading others, I would always mentally make up my own list, so why not just join in? Number 1-25 gathered in my mind, and recorded here:
#1~ Simple beauty, making a house a home#2~ Packages from Florida, love and friendship sent in a box
#3~ Quiet Mornings before the children are up
#4~ Silly grins, and laughs
#9~ Little hands, helping with the dishes
#11~ Daddy working hard, children "helping"
#13~ Flowers, a few of ours, but mostly from my mother-in-law
#14~ A daddy, working hard all day, coming home and working hard on a labor of love for his children
#17~ Golden green canopies, on cloudless days
#18~ Sheets dancing, shadows playing
#20~ Shoes, finally fitting again, a favorite skirt and apron fitting too
#21~ Dinner together, Daddy leading Bible study with the children
#22~ A garden done, yielding only a handful of peas, 2 zucchini, 6 hot peppers, and 3 sunflowers. The chance to improve it and try again next year

Beautiful list, Bonnie! But all of the lists are beautiful, aren't they?
So glad you joined in.
so glad you did too!
And about #1~ I have sunflowers in blue glass in my kitchen as we speak:but guess what? I had to BUY the sunflowers. :-( So even though your garden yeilded little, sunflowers make it worthwhile anyway!
#2~there is a package full of love from PA waiting for the post office. HAS been waiting too-for two weeks. So sorry I am late. :-(
#5~ I love that one.
#10~ wow. You are busy! ;-) What a full heart you must have!
#13~oh so pretty!
#20~ do you seriously stand that way? Because I DO and Matt ALWAYS picks on me and I thought I was the only one in the world who sometimes stands that way! Except my right foot points in. I am weird. BUT SO ARE YOU! :-)
#21~ is that sausage gravy I see?
Great list Bonnie!

Wonderful blessings! I would like to request 1) The donut recipe :D and 2) Pictures of above mentioned baby boy!

Love the sentiment of "Golden green canopies, on cloudless days". i love these all, in fact.
Welcome with warm hugs. Counting along with you ... As always a joy to splash in thankfulness all around.
Splashin,
