Practicing Gratitude {1066 – 1080}

Still counting my gifts, as inspired by Ann’s Multitudes on Mondays

Accomplishing a good week of exercising.

Good music, and comfortable earbuds for my iPhone.

Watching a robin bathe in the birdbath.

I’m featured today on Hip Homeschool Moms!

A really, really, really cute dog.

Laughing with my dad at a silly movie.

Heavenly-smelling lilac blossoms, more roses than I can count, and a plethora of peonies about to burst into bloom.

Sweet friends for my kids; play dates, snacks, and Go Fish.

My husband loves Jesus at least as much as I do.

Visiting with Ken’s maternal grandma, who let me bring home eight different colors of irises we dug up from her fabulous old-fashioned flower garden. She is 88 years old, a widow for many years, and still works her garden nearly every day!

(One of the types of irises I got from MawMaw’s flower garden!)

Visiting with Ken’s paternal grandparents, who will celebrate 65 years of marriage next month. They are so sweet, and such a blessing!

The biggest blessing of all: He is risen!
