It is relatively easy to be thankful since I’ve decided to practice thankfulness in the small things of daily life. It’s not so easy to take time to write them down. But I think it’s important to write them down because it really makes me pause for more than a moment to acknowledge God’s blessings.
So today I’ll share a few more of my 1000 gifts… it will help me stay accountable to writing them down if I know I’m going to share them:
180. sunlight streaming through the curtains in winter
181. the beattitudes
182. the soft hum of traffic
183. a chocolatey kiss
184. sugar sprinkled on shortcake…glimmering in the light
185. feeling like I made a difference for someone
186. frost on rooftops across the way
187. lungs filling with cold, fresh air
188. a surprise from Nathan…a clean bathtub!
189. Elias helping me vacuum
190. a swig of cool water
191. a cacophony of bird calls
192. family walks
193. switchfoot songs
194. This bird, which kept calling while Elias was nearby. He looked and looked for it until he saw it high up in the tree.
