Join me in whispering a thousand graces. The Gratitude Community.
1. Flakes slip softly from heaven and I’m reminded, “Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow” (Psalm 51:7).
2. Little girl stumbles out of bed, bare feet skim the floor as she dances across her room and into mine. I fold her into my arms and breathe in a new day.
3. I open the refrigerator to cut-up vegetables for shish kabobs. He’s one step ahead of me. I text him a quick thank you note. He replies, “Just trying to show you that I am not disconnected from all that you have to do each day. You are amazing. I appreciate you and I’m looking forward to coming home to you today.” My beloved.
4. Listening to giggles swell and become an ocean of laughter.
5. Sarah. A heart show-and-tell, we go deep.
6. “This is who I am. I’ve been born again. The cross is my defense, my hope secure. Now, my life is in Your hand, on You every Word I stand. Lord, I’m finding who I am in all You are” (Shane & Shane, Everything is Different).
7. Cuddled together on the couch, he reads aloud before bedtime. We listen and hope the chapter never ends. She begs him to keep reading, my eyes plead her case, but he smiles, marks the page and invites her dreams to pick up where he left off.
8. Watching my mom love my girl.
9. Breakfast for dinner.
10. My sister’s swollen belly promises new life. Hope beckons.
11. Eyes bright with excitement, little girl watches as Daddy transforms the snowbanks into a labyrinth of caves and tunnels.
12. Lazy weekends.
13. Memory cards filled with frozen bits of time.
14. “Every attribute of God should become a fresh ray in the sunlight of our gladness. That He is wise should make us glad, knowing as we do our own foolishness. That He is mighty should cause us to rejoice who tremble at our weakness. That He is everlasting, should always be a theme of joy when we know that we wither as the grass. That He is unchanging, should perpetually yield us a song, since we change every hour. That He is full of grace, that He is overflowing with it, and that this grace in covenant He has given to us; that it is ours to cleanse us, ours to keep us, ours to sanctify us, ours to perfect us, ours to bring us to glory—all this should tend to make us glad in Him” (Charles Spurgeon).
15. John and Molly. Friendship that invites you home.
16. Nephews say goodbye to two and four, blow out candles and welcome three and five.
17. Parents that don’t put down the cross and tote golf clubs in their gray years. They continue to humbly walk with Him. They’ve left a trail of faith for us to follow. “Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14).
18. Dill pickles.
Do you need a dose of gratitude?
