1000 Gifts: Our morning walk

"Rejoice in the LORD always.

I will say it again:

Rejoice!"

Philippians 4:4

As my cup overflows, I give thanks...

0066

mid-morning walks... together

0067

cool crisp air, warming sunshine, bright blue skies... time outdoors

0068

wide open streets, leaf-littered sidewalks, fast moving wheels, little boy joy

0069

flowers still blooming, bird houses waiting, gardens like this... for all to enjoy

0070

a break from our studies and a sigh of relief

0071

acorn hat whistles and a moment to teach

0072

tiny striped socks and little girl shoes

0073

light-hearted banter and nothing to lose

0074

a race to the corner, a leisurely stroll

0075

a great treasure found... a giant acorn-- whole!

0076

"Mom, look at all the leaves!!"

0077

and freedom. freedom. freedom.

0078

finally, this awesome promise:

"As you come to him, the living Stone--

rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him--

you also, like living stones,

are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood,

offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

For in Scripture it says:

'See, I lay a stone in Zion,

a chosen and precious cornerstone,

and the one who trusts in him

will never be put to shame.' "

1 Peter 2: 4-6

and the list goes on...
