“Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.” -Psalm 100:4

This is the last post of my month-long series Discovering Crazy Joy. I plan to continue counting gifts, and won’t you consider it, too? For further guidance on the hows and whys of keeping a gratitude journal, please read this post at A Holy Experience and then be sure to download the November Joy Calendar for helpful prompts for every day this month.

Monday’s theme: three gifts on time

1. the miraculous collapse of the walls of Jericho (a re-enactment)

2. the monthly meeting of our homeschool moms’ group

3. this helpful post about Halloween at Our Family for His Glory

Tuesday: three gifts overjoyed

1. the girls trying to guess the title of the secret movie

2. the girls picking out polish and extra special treats

3. the three of us, polishing pumpkins and hot-gluing embellishments

Wednesday: three gifts hallowed

1. lifting up the names of God in prayer

2. the faith stories of Martin Luther and Katherine von Bora
