Multitudes on Mondays- One Thousand Gifts




More Counting of My Amazing Blessings and
My Thanks to You, Lord-

#65 A phone message saying something had happened to Nana.  I was so afraid to hear the news and crying before I could dial.  The relief and gratitude I felt when Dad said, "She's doing OK and  going home from the hospital."  Thank you, Lord.  Praying for continued healing from her stroke yesterday.  I love you, Nana. 

#66 Witnessing my sweet girls take a stand for Jesus.  Hearing, "I want to tell the world that I love Jesus." 

#67 It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Super Prince Charming!





Memories of my own little brother in his superman costume with cape, now seen in my own son.

#68 Beautiful snow falling this week covering the dirty earth with white making my heart feel the holiday expectation.   

#69 Joy overflowing in church yesterday as many stood up and shared their thanksgiving.

#70 Seeing this necklace  and pondering its message in my heart.  Closing my eyes and seeing it in my mind and knowing that Grace Won in my family.  

#71 Friends who know me, all of me, and love me anyway, covering me with grace.






#72   A butterfly raised by Littlest Princess from a caterpillar not willing to fly away.  The joy its beauty brought and also the reminder that I'm no longer the caterpillar and to remember that I can fly if I'll only do it. 



#73 Rediscovering my love for poetry as I newly discover novels written in verse.  So thankful for the way they move me and inspire me and make me dream of creating beauty with words.







#74 My children are warm and have new coats, gloves, boots, scarves, and hats when Wednesday's forecast says a high of 15 degrees. 



#75 Two beautiful princesses dreaming together by our fire while I read aloud one of my favorites.  




#76 The building excitement of family coming to help us celebrate Thanksgiving.  Only two more sleeps and then  "over the river and through the woods" to Aunt Becky's house they will all go.  

Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
- Psalm 34:8


I'm participating in Multitude Monday on A Holy Experience

Such great pictures, Becky! And it's so good to hear your thankful heart poured out to us...and mostly in praise to the Lord! You have a beautiful family and many things to praise God for this holiday season and throughout the year! :) P.S. Andrew use to have a pair of Superman jammies just like Prince Charming's. :)

I'm thankful for a daughter that takes the time to do a blog post for me to see with everything else she has to do to get ready for US coming in two more sleeps!

I too have been reflecting this week on the Lord's goodness to me. It is so humbling and overwhelming to ponder.

Happy Thanksgiving!
