- Gratitudes and Beatitudes Journal -
Ready to embrace the power of intentional daily gratitude? — Join us in a year-long reflective Gratitude Journal, Gratitude and Beatitudes, that not only gives you a gorgeous space to count 1000 gifts over the course of a year, but is formatted in a way that allows you to reflect & look back every single day over the cumulative gifts from the previous days and months of your year, to grow your sense of trust and joy in God’s provisions — all while guiding you prayerfully through some of the most life-changing words of all of Scripture, the Sermon on the Mount.
This hardcover, linen-bound journal is meant to be a daily companion that urges you to savour every moment by recognizing and listing over 1,000 gifts of blessing throughout the year.
The journal uses the divine wisdom of the Sermon on the Mount to frame each day of the month with a unique prayer. The scripture and prayers repeat monthly for a year, creating a rhythm of gratitude that pervades your life and offers a deeply immersive study of Matthew 5-7.
Each day, begin by reading a few verses of Scripture from the Sermon on the mount. Then, reflect on and pray the prayer crafted from the reading. Finally, express your own gratitude with three lines that await your personal notes on the day's unique blessings. Move to the next day, and at the end of the month, return to the beginning, reflecting on God’s good gifts day after day.
As you navigate through the journal day by day, month by month, you'll find yourself reflecting on the same date from the previous months, providing a tangible record of your growing gratitude and richness of blessings.
Art and prayer are interwoven in this journal through the prayerful writing of Melba Voskamp and the artistic beauty of Katy Rose. As an immensely talented illustrator and cherished collaborator, Katy's art graces every page with depictions of flora, fauna, and historical architecture from the ancient Israel where Jesus walked and preached. The journal's linen cover is embossed elegantly with black foil, and it features a beautiful ribbon bookmark, so you can mark your place along your journey of gratitude.
Measuring 8.5 inches tall and 5.5 inches wide, this journal fits comfortably in your hands and lies flat on the table or desk, inviting you to fill its pages.
With careful craftsmanship and an eye for durability, this journal boasts premium cream art paper that maintains its charm even after a year of daily musings. Its Smyth-sewn binding, renowned as the finest binding method, ensures the journal lays flat for your comfort and withstands the wear and tear of daily use, destined to become a cherished heirloom.
With this Gratitude Journal, join us on a transformative journey, cultivating a deeper sense of appreciation, and leading a more fulfilling, gratitude-filled life, one blessed day at a time.

Tamara Shopsin of a journal that loops back on itself. Tamara herself was inspired by a NYT story about a woman journaling in the 1930's, making part of the story of how this journal came to be almost a century old!)
