One Thousand Gifts (part 10)

Between Spring, Easter and field trips there are almost too many blessing to count! His grace is evident everywhere! And so I continue to make my list of His bountiful gifts, inspired by Ann Voskamp's One Thousand Gifts. Here is my continuing journey:

124. Songbirds in early morning and listening with my son

125. forsythia in bloom



126-128. pizza, heart-to-heart conversation and playdate of wildly entertained cackling kids


129. beautiful sunflower earrings I won thanks to Beauty by Jinxy (and Five Minutes for Mom)!

130. wonderful new books to read


131. Spring cleaning-lightening the load


132-140. Touch-a-Truck: cacophonous beeping, hot salty popcorn, sweet sticky snow cones, cement mixing trucks, bucket trucks way up high, raffle prize won, dancing donut man, servicemen who volunteered their morning to entertain little kids









141. happy exhaustion-the tiredness that comes from living fully


142. Afternoon rest that revives


143. Holy Thursday: Lord's Supper, washing of the feet, sacrifice, forgiveness, mercy and His love

145. Easter Sunday: Resurrection on the third day, His Power, His love, grace and mercy


146. Easter Lillies-fragrant and beautiful evoking happy memories
