As I approach the writing of #300 in my gifts journal, I wanted to share a few photos from the journey. I have been able to capture some of the beautiful grace filled moments and the little glimpses of gifts just for my enjoyment.
I wrote this in my journal on March 2, 2011; just over 3 weeks ago : As I have reached gift #214 in this short month and half of journaling my gits, what I realize is I do long for the better thing (Mary living in a Martha world - to sit with the Lord is the better thing), the grateful heart the joyful soul. I want my children to know the Lord's blessings personally. I desire to be intent in my day. I want the every day to be intentional in searching out the Grace of God. Thanking the Lord for Love bestowed, by my helpmeet, my children and my closest friends. For the health of those who surround me, for those whose struggle is with such things as cancer and disease, and those born with greater challenges to overcome than I can imagine - that the Lord God is in control of all of it. For the Longing of deep Eucharisteo!"

Jesus First - Colossians 1:18
He is the head of his body, the church; he is the source of the body's life. He is the first-born Son, who was raised from death, in order that he alone might have the first place in all things.

What a wonderful list and blog. I love your Philippians verse title inspiration. Those verses got me through three baby deliveries! I also adore the pretzels in the glass jar. We have a gum jar, but a pretzel jar? Great idea! Two other items made me smile at our common ground--a teen daughter enjoying helping and a tea party. We're having a b-day tea party this Friday.
Blessings to you and your family.
