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

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