Gratitude for #209-221

reminders of a past not far gone....


friends that like to plan

graciousness


old houses
islands
the sea

God's grace to help me bite my tongue
His mercy when I didn't

knowing what I need


the ability to serve

the interest of the 'mundane'

realizing that ordinary does not exist (thank you Ann)

that life is beautiful....

  3. We seem to be living on the same page lately:

    "God's grace to help me bite my tongue
    His mercy when I didn't."

    Ah, yes. Oh, boy.

    And yes, that elusive "ordinary." I think it has been redefined without my knowledge! :) I love Ann, don't you?

    I also love her communities -- it's the only time in my week that I let myself browse. It's fun to visit, and so I'm thankful for the good excuse. I'm glad you stopped by today...

    i don't know how it is God chose me to be blessed with the treasure gift of you and your friendship
    but i am ever thankful

    i so don't deserve His blessings upon blessings... i am humbled and thankful

    i so don't deserve the Love He has put in your heart for me, but i am ever so thankful

    there has never been a friend more loving and encouraging than you

    and, yes, we are a lot like dogs :o]
