Counting My Blessings is a heartfelt memoir that captures the quiet beauty, humor, and resilience of growing up in rural Ohio during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. Through vivid stories of family farms, small-town traditions, hard work, faith, and childhood adventures, Judy Culler Reiter preserves a way of life shaped by simplicity, community, and gratitude.
Woven throughout are memories of grandparents and parents, lessons learned through everyday moments, and reflections on how God’s steady presence guided generations through joy, loss, and change. From early Christmases and school days to unforgettable mishaps, travels, and family legends, these pages offer warmth, wisdom, and gentle laughter.
Written especially for children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, this book is both a family legacy and a universal reminder to slow down, remember where we come from, and recognize the blessings—big and small—that shape who we become.
