May Days : 1000 Gifts

Looking for His gifts in these ordinary days,
and scribbling them down as we go...

0325
Treasures from our trip to Florida.


0326
Still being able to hear the ocean.

0327
Saturdays on sidelines.


0328
Sunny and 76.

0329
Smiling as he runs up and down the field.

0330
Friday night dinner with good friends.

0331
Pretend play that spans several days. A sweet shop opens and closes.

0332
Creative cookies.


0333
A morning with my girl at the garden center.

0334
Watching as she carefully selects annuals for her flower bed.

0335
The honeysuckle along the trail.

0336
Sketch books and colored pencils.

0337
A clean car.

0338
Her great laugh.

0339
Evenings on the patio.

0340
Looking closely at the leaves that provide our shade.


0341
All those I'm sorry-s and please forgive me-s.

0342
Singing Great is Thy Faithfulness. Together.

0343
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,

0344
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;

0345
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,


Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

  2. Those shells are beautiful. I'm about 3 1/2 hours from the nearest beach but here in the UK that is a long journey and so we just don't do it very often. sigh.

  6. Love the image of laughter!! How perfectly captured! (love your window hardware, too, btw)

    Great hymn ... hard to replace the old hymns is it not?! They always make me tear up ... and when my children sing them, the joy is all the more!

    Beautiful post.
    Thank you!
