One Thousand Gifts: 11.13

"Make me blessing, God of Grace, and make me Bread, Bread of Heaven and I will not let go of you until you make me a blessing, God who is a river of blessings and calls all the blessings to flow on and on, never running out."

~Ann Voskamp in Ecuador

~thousands of gifts~

the giggles amid popping packing bubbles

moonlit walks with my husband

piles of husband-made bagels on kitchen counters

long family stroller walks, with cries of "Christmas lights!"

such creative drawings and other Peter creations

leaf throwing

kids enjoying bath time together

visiting Ecuador vicariously

seeing an owl in early morning light

inspirational sermons

snuggles with my sleepy two-year-old

cleaning helpers, he now vacuums and cleans mirrors!

time to relax

seeing faraway grandparents on the computer screen

watching parades with friends

three day weekends

my loving husband

that we have more than enough
