To Give Thanks

Her blog is like the best dessert and warm hot beverage to soothe a heart-heavy-soul....for me. Its a wanna-be-writer looking up to the best kind of writer...one that writes for her Maker and for no other. Her words, a dance troupe, all in perfect animation, creating one whole breath-taking picture of rejoicing, of praise, of introspection, with no fear of going too deep, thinking too long, contemplating too much. Its my meat-and-potatoes of favorite blogs, if I ate meat anymore that is. Here is what she wrote today to give you an example of the richness that exudes from her posts. Praise the Lord for it, as I think that's how she prefers it....

Anyway, every Monday she sets aside that blog post for thanksgiving. To publicly and intentionally express gratitude for the "thousand gifts" surrounding her and lovingly lavished on by the One who made her. And every Monday, she invites us to do the same. Today, on the first of November, this first day on the month set aside in this country to remember our thanksgivings, I too, join her in giving my due appreciation for One Thousand Gifts....

His grace

pink-ribboned sunrise

cool breezes and warm sun

a 2-year-old "wuv-uu"

lost-tooth excitement

family

my man

first sip of coffee

great work environment

mid-day naps

heat and hot water

new life in bundles of blankets and diapers and sweet baby smells

good friends not afraid to call at early-o-clock with praises to share

Aunt Anne and the wisdom she loves me with

sunlight coming through the windows and caressing what lies within

pictures that tell more than 1000 words

good books

The Good Book

Iron-sharpening-iron conversations about eternal truths

bloggers and their words that feels like home I've never seen


Will you join me in this journey of being thankful? Nothing but blessing can come from it.
