3 gifts ugly-beautiful:
Reading
~"when God wants us to know answers, He wants us to know Him."
And
~"The secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt He is"
And
~ "When we loudly question God’s culpability, God quietly questions our humility."
From Ann today. No, I have not lost my sweet child. But life is hard in many forms. Seeing your husband deal with illnesses for a year, some of which have no answer to them, is hard too.
A gift fixed: Our windshield wipers. Yay! Thank you my dear!
Folded: Laundry (one of my least favorite chores- yay, it's done!)
Freckled: The face of a little friend.
3 gifts in conversation: ~Watching my daughter's reaction to me telling her all kinds of things.
~Sharing the joy of new little things she is learning with others.
~ The comradeship of friendship.
3 gifts in salvation: ~Peace.
~Joy.
~Comfort.
3 gifts in information: Being able to share God's grace and love via:
~Facebook.
~Twitter.
~This blog.
A gift of reading: Truth in the book of Acts. Good stuff!
receding: The end of one year. What a year!
reclaiming: bad habits, ways of doing things admitted, repented of.
3 gifts quiet:
~The first moments of the morning.
~A quiet snuggle in the evening.
~A chance to nap as my mother in law (Baba) loves on the baby.
3 gifts funny:
~Laughing at how the girl wiggles straight out of being swaddled.
~Hearing a story of a prank pulled during my husband's college years.
~Hearing my husband sing silly songs to my daughter.
3 gifts finished:
~Delicious Italian leftovers.
~My last book.
~Old attitudes.
3 gifts flourishing:
My relationships with:
~The Lord.
~My husband.
~My daughter.
All by His abundant grace. No they are not perfect. But He brings growth.
3 gifts white:
~sparkling Christmas lights.
~A fresh bit of snow.
~White Christmas chocolate.
3 gifts bright:
