I have seen many people on social media list something every day that they are grateful for and thought I would join in and have on my private Facebook account every day and I thought I would share here too. I did this for the whole of last year couple of years and it has really made me realise that even on the bad day's I have something to be grateful for.
On my last grateful post I said June wasn't the greatest month for my family and July hasn't been any better. Ugh! Hopefully now things have turned a corner and our lives will start to improve.
Day 183 of #365DaysOfGratitude
Today I am grateful that Stu got sorted with eBay. He sold something and the buyer said it was stolen from his house so eBay sided with the buyer! It makes no sense, Stu wasn't to blame so he spoke to eBay on the phone and he's getting his money back. Works out great for us, he got rid of a computer part and got the money for it. Just how it should be!

What were you grateful for in July?
I love this post! In July, I was thankful for the fact that as time goes on, my sorrows get a little easier to deal with. I'm always thankful for the love of the Lord, and that I felt His presence in the friends that He has given me. My friends provided me and my sons with meals for the month of July; it was wonderful not having to think about preparing meals for us while we mourning our losses from the summer. I was thankful for days that were cooler than others and that we ended the month with a week of rain for our plants, yards, and flower beds. I love it when God waters things for me so that I don't have to do that!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely things to be grateful for mate and lovely pics of you and the girls. Glad you enjoyed the agricultural show again and Comic Con looked amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe had a nice short break away and had some beach days which was very needed. Booking a few more so I can get some more done on my book. xx
You found things to be thankful for even though it was a difficult month. I hope things get better soon.
ReplyDeleteYour gratitude may be cryptic from Day 205 on, but it sounds like it's all coming together at the end and that's another reason for gratitude.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that August turns a corner for you and your family but I love that you were still able to list something you were grateful for every day (even if the goings on necessitated you to be a bit cryptic).
