September Sun : 1000 Gifts

When it comes to life
the critical thing is whether
you take things for granted
or take them with gratitude.


-G.K. Chesterton


With a heart full of gratitude, I add to my list...

1099
The sound of rain on the roof.

1100
Morning sun on wet grass.

1101
A dry basement.

1102
Football season.

1103
"Mom, will you sit and read with me."

1104
That they think it's fun to have homework.

1105
And that he doesn't have it yet. (More time to practice running bases.)

1106
Rainy day baking.

1107
No fear in death. A beautiful service celebrating a life full of love and grace.

1108
A long walk with my girl.

1109
The care of His Church.

1110
Knowing the grieving are surrounded.

1111
Clinging to hope.
