Why am I counting?

So, I've been struggling with the counting of the gifts lately. My focus has been way off.

Am I counting for you? (I hope not, these posts get the least amount of comments) 
to win a camera?(not sure I fancy myself much of a photographer these days) 
to give me something to blog about?(afraid so, more than I care to admit) 
or to honestly give God glory?? (oh, I so want this to be the reason) 
to remember and live in gratitude, which will result in JOY, True Joy!!

So this week, I'm skipping the daily counting and just sharing some gifts I want to remember!
