Practicing Gratitude {1019 – 1028}
Still counting beyond one-thousand gifts…
Receiving info about and photos of our Compassion child Lucy in Kenya.
Living books — and how much I learn as I homeschool my kids!
A trip to the zoo!
I’ve seen elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, and baboons in the wild.
Sisterly moments, cinnamon rolls for breakfast, a cute dog (who begs politely), and a newly rearranged living room.
Another year of wedded bliss and sweet words from my husband.
God always gives us a way out of temptation.
“…God is faithful and He will not allow you to be tempted [or tried] beyond what you are able [to endure], but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape…” 1 Corinthians 10:13
Homeschool moms further down the road who are willing to share their wisdom.
Spontaneous dinner invitation from good friends.
Being safe and cozy inside on a stormy night.
Wife, mom, J-ma. Introvert who enjoys good books, sunshine, and authentic conversation. Often seen with a steaming mug of tea in hand – unless it’s lost yet again in the microwave. Read more »
It’s very clear I need to read this book!
I’m seeing post about it everywhere and they are so beautiful.
What a sweet list of gratitude:)
{Your living room is so homey and inviting, and I love it!}
What a blessed blog you have. I’m looking forward to visiting again here soon;)
Oh, your living room is gorgeous! Reading this list is both calming and inspiring – thanks.. And I’m happy to read the words about God providing us with escape from temptation.
Congratulations on another year of marriage! In this time when so many give up, one more year and one more year and one more year are accomplishments! Blessings!
A trip to the zoo sounds like so much fun. What a wonderful and sweet sister moment you captured. The polite begging puppy looks just like ours when we eat! 🙂 Your husband is so sweet. What a beautiful post. Happy Anniversary!
This book was the biggest blessing to me. I have always been a person of joy and never ever had to “look” for God’s blessings. Since becoming a missionary and the life we lead here, leaving my big kids behind in Texas, it has become much harder for me. I love my 1000 gifts journal and loved reading your blessings as well:)
What a beautiful room! That color blue and the floral prints. . . I feel happier just looking at the photo. May I come over for tea and cinnamon rolls? 🙂
Thank you for stopping by my blog today and taking time to comment. The Lord be with you and your lovely family.
First – the fact that the room looks so “home-y” kind of forced my hand making this one my fave — Sisterly moments, cinnamon rolls for breakfast, a cute dog (who begs politely), and a newly rearranged living room. – the polite dog helped,
God Bless and keep you and yours
Living Books! One of my faves about homeschooling also…. loving how history etc. comes alive for my kiddos and me through our reading.
I love dinner invitations from good friends…they are even better when they are spontaneous. Loved your list of gifts.
Beautiful list today and I thank you for sharing it! LOVED the picture — especially since I have a dog who also sits politely at the table. Never moves, never voices his requests, but STARES! Thanks again for letting me peek into your life today! It was a blessing!
