1000 Gifts: A few more little things


"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,
continue to live in him,
rooted and built up in him,
strengthened in the faith as you were taught,
and overflowing with thankfulness."

Colossians 2:6-7

With a grateful heart, I give thanks for:

0079
human jungle gyms, hearty laughter, and a favorite trike they'll simply never outgrow


0080
a morning at the park, fun-loving cousins, a game of catch-me-if-you-can... pure joy!

0081
spontaneous hugs

0082
bike helmets, even if they are a few sizes too big


0083
acorn hunts in the backyard and a bag full of goodies for grandma's deer

0084
the impossible math problem... solved! All by himself.

0085
a favorite snack... made by helper hands


0086
"This book is actually pretty good."

0087
lazy afternoons


0088
four energetic children, playing contendedly, yes happily... together... in the backyard

0089
quiet

0090
painting outdoors (and the discipline he showed by NOT painting the steps... even though he really wanted to)


0091
a weekend away, birthday celebrations, time to rest and unwind... home

0092
laughter, acceptance, encouragement, love

0093
and these tiny feet, straight from his mama's womb
yes, this newborn boy... and the joy he'll forever bring



"Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."

Psalm 34:8


holy experience


and my list goes on...

I'm starting to look forward to Mondays, so I can see your new list (and pics!).

0079 ~ I was just commenting to a friend yesterday at church how boy energy more than doubles with two boys! This picture is priceless! What's the energy level like with three feeding off each other?!

0081 ~ My Eli's been handing out spontaneous hugs lately! Love it! But he's still stingy on his kisses now that he's four! ;)

0082 ~ Miss Lolli looks ADORABLE (as always)!

0086 ~ I love that! And also when they say, "Can I read another chapter, PLEASE?!"

0090 ~ What a great picture of a cutie-pie! ;)

0093 ~ Congrats on the newest family member!! ;)

Sorry ... There was just a lot to comment on today! Have a great one!
