what gifts!

Please Lord

Gild me

In determination

Help me to remember and to be watching

Daily Bread, what you have shown me

What Gifts!

So that I see I should not take

Anything as granted.

- A. Borne

(poem written by a friend and read at church yesterday)

Remembering and watching these gifts...

-many provisions

- a warmer-than-mine body to fall asleep with

- grocery shopping all together

- an unexpected free morning

- a fixed dishwasher; family help

- Levi's over-tired silliness

- a borrowed vacuum, a just-for-a-moment clean house

- piles of blankets and books with Evan and Levi

- potluck in the kettle; two yummy chili's, happy children, sugar and spice cookies

- a new and wonderfully successful Miro lesson

- family over for a double birthday party; homemade pizzas, strawberry shortcake

- when he wakes up and just wants to cuddle with me and blankie

- quiet moments

- inspiring sermons

- Mom ok, after a trip to the ER with kidney stones

- a fun hangout/photo shoot with the Blakes

-for a very adorable little church distraction 

- a possible painting commission

- my husband, steady breathing and asleep on my shoulder

- time to stop and watch the birds

- the upcoming week of family, food and thanks

- cookin' with my sous chef..
