Back in 2011 I started a 1000 Gifts List...I dropped off somewhere along the way...so I am picking up where I left off, for indeed I have so much to be thankful for.
#303 ~for a husband who speaks sweetly of me when I am not around. (I heard it through the grapevine) ;)
#304 ~to be jobless for only a matter of 2 hours - truly a miraculous gift from God in this economy.
#305 ~for a friend with a printer when I needed it so desperately (thanks Vinnie).
#306 ~for warm hugs from old friends
#307 ~for cough medicine for little sweeties
#308 ~for a gift of $300 from our dear friends to refill our fridge and freezer from what we lost in the power outage ( B & M, I love you guys!)
#309 ~for forgiveness from my children when I yelled at them and a sweet 6 year old voice saying, "I always love you, Mom".
#310 ~for a vacuum cleaner warranty that I really needed and saved me lots $$
#311 ~for a dinner that EVERYONE loved (salami stromboli) : )
It will be my aim to fill lines and line of these things for which I am thankful over the coming months. I am sure I can get to 1000...I could get there quickly if I could really number the blessings I have been given. God is utterly gracious and kind to me...
"Bless the LORD, Oh my soul and all that is with in me, Bless His holy Name!!"
Spurred on by the Spirit and others to write...my heart, my struggles, my life, my chaos, and to find that EVERYTHING is SACRED...finding the sacred in the chaos of real life, for the glory of God.
