A Heart Expanded : 1000 Gifts

This practice of God-seeking, blessing-counting, beauty-finding ...
it has a way of expanding a heart with joy.
And helping eyes to see through His lens.

So with a heart full, I grab my gratitude journal and pen more of His blessings....

Hayrides and kettle corn.


0115
Little boy joy.

0016
Dirty knees.


0117
The thrill and delight of a really big slide.


0118
Roasting pumpkin seeds.

0119
An extra hour of sleep.

And yesterday, we celebrated...

0120
My girl. Eight years old.


0121
Remembering her first day.

0122
Big hugs of thanks for a special gift. And little brothers keeping a secret.

0123
'Happy Birthday' sung over the phone. Connecting with far-away family.

0124
Sitting and brushing her hair.

0125
Picking out a special dress together.

0126
The giggles of gathered girlfriends.

0127
Seeing His work in her heart.

holy experience
