Nothing deep today…just posting additions to my list of 1000 gifts that I’ve learned to recognize over the past week–many of which are little things I have too often taken for granted. 116. My bread machine paddle being found (in the compost heap in the yard!) 117. The crocuses on the side of the house …
My list of 1000 gifts has received quite a few new additions during the past week. Most of them are rather personal and/or involve others, so today I’m going to share #109. As you know from my post earlier this month, God has been calling me to let Him teach me how to meet Him …
It’s Gratitude Monday, but before I add to my list, I want to share something. The past few days were an amazing weekend in several ways…some of them quite different than I expected. That’s not a bad thing, though. I find myself realizing, in a new way (again), how walking with God is a step …

This is my first Monday blog post dedicated to being thankful. Last Thursday’s blog post explained 1000 gifts, so read that first, if you want to. Then join your own thanks to mine–on your blog, in your own private list, or in the comments here. Now it’s my turn to continue counting 1000 gifts that …
