I just attended a book club on 1,000 gifts on Friday night. What a wonderful discussion time of uncovering God’s gifts in our lives, often through suffering! But in contrast, your list this week is so much about seeing His gifts in the simply ordinary moments. It is refreshing! Thanks!
So many beautiful gifts shared today. #140 – I am so thankful He hears my prayers, even when I cannot see the outcome. He knows! #144 – joy to a mother’s heart! #150 – I purposefully steer clear of the Girl Scout Cookies. I could eat an entire box at one sitting. Have a beautiful day!
I am sad to report the box of thin mints is now empty….but those cutie pie Girl Scouts will be out all month! 🙂
I definitely need to start my list on my new blog. A little Joy Dare for the year. Loved reading your list today, and thanks for stopping by my blog this weekend.
love your sweet blog Jamie! fun to meet new friends!
