    Ways to Be a Blessing and Count Your Blessings

    Encouragement Tips

    Settling into the season of fall is the perfect opportunity to encourage those around us. Today we have suggestions for living in a season of gratitude and grace. There are many ways to be a blessing and to count our blessings, and we have a few ideas for making that a habit this autumn. 


    Below you will find some great ideas that include: 

    • Sending handwritten notes of encouragement to people. 
    • Having meaningful conversations with a friend over coffee. 
    • Beginning a gratitude journal of thankfulness. 


    And we also recommend listening to the song "Counting My Blessings" by Seph Schlueter which is a great reminder of God's unending goodness towards us. So grateful!
