First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 ESV
Counting the gifts today........#776-790
The return of gorgeous sunny weather.....to hike trails, take walks
Chilly desert nights spent once again around the fire, deep conversations......
New hiking shoes that will hold the rocky trail
Breakfast after church......and important reconnections
Mini vacations when you can't get the real thing.....sometimes just a few hours makes a difference.
Looks that say, "I understand...."
The joy of library books waiting to be cracked open.......
My ever positive Mom.....
Instant messaging with my brother across the miles
A brand new bathroom thanks to my wonderful and creative best friend (I really think she could teach Martha a thing or two)
Gathering together with other believers....here there and everywhere!
Good things that don't end......always another photo
always another book
always another chance to start again with each new day......always another chance to pray!
So much to be thankful for...
ReplyDeleteToday I'm thankful for my home--a nice parsonage (which isn't always the case). I'm glad for the provision of God that allows my family and me a safe, warm place to live--something we often take for granted.
Blessings to you for a beautiful week.
