72 Gifts

One thousand gifts...and as of today, I'm seventy-two documented gifts richer.

Looking for these gifts absolutely overwhelms me. I know all these things happened before I started counting, but I never noticed.

How much I missed!!

Here is just a sampling of the beauty God has sent my way since January 1:

2. Seeing a familiar verse in new words...a wash of love.
14. Praying in dark and stillness on the commute.

20. Pudgy baby fists reaching for soft books.

30. Butterflies in my stomach.

45. Lists made by a dear friend...to remind me of my worth.

59. Soft roar of a heater.

61. Finding an email that asked me to write a new Bible study.

68. Nestling in bed while wind beats the window.

70. Knit caps snug on my head. 72. The smell of new boots.

Thank You, Abba.
