I have noticed my joy being smaller, all because I have stopped or slowed my notice of things that I am blessed by. So here I start anew this day the counting of 1000 gifts. I am passing 400 in awe of how Great our Lord is.
In yesterdays sermon Pastor Dennis, asked the question - How do we see God?
I see God as all knowing - for His ways are higher than mine (thank you Lord), I see Him as a grace giving, ever forgiving, ever loving Lord - and I am blessed to be a sinner saved by His Grace and total sacrifice!
Our sermon was out of Matthew 26, about the time that Mary broke the Alabaster box and poured out the precious oil onto our Lord. Giving sacrificially and in full to Him, in preparation for His leaving to the cross.
So here are my gifts that He laid our before me this last few weeks (only a few of them, as I was not taking them all in).
363. Eye sight - Andrew's is changing and glasses are in order.
364.Ponies in the field "they aer sooo fluffy" Addysen said.
365. A year - 365 days since Addysen tested into the dual language program
366. Days in a leap year and Lord willing I will celebrate my 10th or 40th birthday.
367. Rainbows still - ever present every changing
368. An amazing Husband, loves and Cherishes me
369. a beautiful sunrise greeting the day
370. a chance to see Emma run
371.Birds everywhere
373. winner of a giveaway of "thankful" proportions
374. An invitation to girls night out (even though I cannot go)
375. Working vehicle to travel - 'back in time'
376. ease of travel - good weather
377. a spot to settle in
378. Well behaved children
379. blankets of wool to keep children warm (tenting at 34*)
380. port-a pottys "modern camping"
381. new friendships
382. warm rays of sun (even if a sunburn was the result)
383. enough food - more than enough
384. Barn owls hunting predawn screeching
385. swallows swarming at evenings dusk
386. mornings walks
387.545 wake ups
388. time in His Word
389.naps
390. crystal blue skies with puffy white clouds
391. Moon rising at noon
to be continued......
