Full : 1000 Gifts


...the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way.


Ephesians 1:23

Overwhelmed by His grace and provision, I add to the list...

0103
Celebrating my husband's birthday. A table full of food and friends.

0104
Shouts of love, "Daddy's home!" filling the house. The race to the door.

0105
Our church family. Body life. Unity and diversity for our mutual benefit.

0106
Opening hymnals. Singing together.

0107
Will running across the church sanctuary right after the benediction to hug an older woman in our congregation... a grandmother to little ones far away... and Will's good friend. Relationships that my children would not have outside of the Church.

0108
My young daughter watching, admiring the godly character of one a few years ahead of her.

0109
A not-so-little three year old curled up in my lap.

0110
The swirling of leaves on the road.

0111
The blessing of sleep. Extra blankets to throw on beds as nights grow longer, colder.

0112
A warm mug held with both hands. Coffee and early morning prayer.

0113
Bright oranges, reds, yellows. Leaves at peak color.
