Because it adjusts our focus to what God IS doing, instead of what He isn't.
Because it reminds us of how much we have, even when we don't have much.
Because it makes you smile.
Because it changes our hearts from the inside, to the outside.
Because it brings strength, peace, and hope.
Because it's portable.
Because it trains us to see all that we don't usually see.
Because it looks for purpose in the difficult and the mundane.
Because it allows us to glimpse all of our gifts, not just the big ones.
Because everyone has gifts to count.
Because it ushers in the BIG miracles!
One comment I've heard is from people who are afraid they can't sound eloquent ... poetic ... musical. But can you count? Counting is personal ... flexible ... as creative or factual as you need it to be. Count in a way that you are comfortable with! Ideas of ways to count:
- a list
- photgraphs
- video snippets
- music lyrics
- scripture
- quotations
- drawings
- cartoons
- journalling
- scrapbooking
- sharpie tatoos
- audio recording
- a mix CD
- sound effects
- slide show
- poster
- glass markers
- chalkboard
- paper crafts
- any combination of the above or of unlimited other ways!
So what are you waiting for? It's only the end of January .... And it's really never too late to start counting!
