Still Counting

Still counting gifts, that is.

Thought I'd share a few today:

#233 - fields of wildflowers and butterflies

#388 - homegrown tomatoes

#442 - a slow tail wag

#598 - sound of rain

#604. "Happy Birthday" sung all in tune, with a little harmony added in at the end

#609. Watching fishing line fly through the air as it's cast

#623. The quiet of the forest



#626. Water falls, even small ones


 
 

#631. Sparkling rain drops on bright green leaves

#656. Bibles on patients' bedside tables

#667. Warm copies, fresh off the printer

#681. God's Word: powerful and piercing

(I've needed this)

I've needed to be thankful. I find myself looking for things to write down. I find myself on the scavenger hunt for gifts and grace like Ann talks about. I've been surprised to find that the list keeps going without many duplications. As hard as my heart has been lately, I'm starting to see this multitude of gifts in front of me. And it's refreshing. Pure grace falling on a dry heart. I've needed it.

Thank you, Lord for these beautiful gifts. These gifts that I see are a fraction of the grace that you give to me. Thank you for opening my eyes to see these things. Open my eyes wider to see more and more of the love you show me each and every moment of my days. Let my heart be ever thankful.
Love,
Andrea
