Multitude Monday

I’m learning that gratitude is …

the way the heart freezes a moment,

holds it in a frame,

paints life in the most beautiful colors,

and lives big and bold and now.

Counting 1,000 Gifts….

#622 Girl all curled up reading about rocks for hours.

#623 Seeing eyes light up with excitement at wisdom that has taken root.

#624 Letting them learn on their own and letting go of ‘should’.

#625 Jumping up and down rejoicing at the beginning of new life.

#626 Gathering with friends and outnumbered by children as we share pizza and stories.

#627 Baby girl who walks wobbly while talking to herself.

#628 African children who sing, “He has not forgotten me, He knows my name” and remind me this is Truth.

#629 Singing for the One who covers me with grace.

I was just thinking a little while ago that baby legs wobbling on those tiny feet are one of the most wonderful things in the world!

Oh those children Sunday! They touched my heart with their gratitude.

I was thinking of you and your sweet family as they sang! God is so good! He knew your girls were “Wagners” from the beginning! Can’t wait to meet them.

These made my heart rejoice with you…what a blessing to have time with friends and be outnumbered by the littles…what an amazing blessing it must have been to hear those African children sing those truths.
