Ann Voskamp @ A Holy Experience wrote the book One Thousand Gifts.... which I absolutely love... and I share in the gratitude journal beginning today with
these thankful responses...
331. Friday night's blessing of 14 gathered brothers and sisters in Christ around my dining room table sharing about their lives and our Lord in fellowship and prayer.
332. The surprising reflection of Lynn's arms wrapping toward me
333. The lovely shadow of my dear friends as we gathered for luncheon at Montano's last Thursday
334. The rosy dawn hues of early morning travel
335. A glimpse into the life of a precious new friend and sister, Mary....
336. The sour blast of lime zest sauce on my delectabel chicken quesadilla today at Ruby Tuesday
337. The delightfully sweet of Lois's homemade apricot pie Friday night!
338. The absolutely delicious balance of yumminess in my chicken and veggie stirfry last night
339. The golden glory of a January sun
340. The soft, cozy yellow of my cashmere-like sweater.
341. The soft creamery yellow paint with which we are painting mom's kitchen
342. The dance of sunlight today as the myriad clouds pass above
343. The smiling countenance of my best friend as she comes along beside me at church!
344. Coming home to my fluff lined cozy green slippers lying beneath the hall tree!
345. I am grateful that God saved my soul by the power of Jesus' death and resurrection
346. I am grateful that His mercies toward me are new each day and that I am learning not to miss as many of them as I used to....
347. I am grateful for the process of maturation and sanctification that comes from the Father through His Spirit, and the joy that comes from listening to and obeying His small still voice!
348. Considering the startling graces of God... foremost is that He loves us so much that He gave His only begotten son that we might not perish but have ever lasting life with Him in heaven
349. Also, that by His grace we have moment by moment access to Him in heaven beyond the vail....... unlike the Jews who could only come to Him once a year through their priests...
350. That even though sometimes we face many trials and hardships, yet He is right there with us the midst of trouble and we can lean on HIm and trust Him to provide EVERYTHING we need.....
