I read recently that gratefulness is the measure of our aliveness. And that we are dead to whatever we take for granted ... because to be numb is to be dead.
So how's your pulse?
I'm taking mine now.
#221 a life-long friend ... literally
#222 three territorial hummingbirds
#223 1.74 miles -- it's a start toward a future 5k
#224 emotions -- messages from God that can tell me much about my spiritual quest
#225 pin-pointing a wound
#226 forgiving ... again
#227 trying to learn how to live with a sacramental view of life
#228 yearning for Christian community for it is my context for finding companionship in Christ
#229 inconveniences that cause me to slow down and exhibit patience
#230 praying with a mantis
#231 October skies
#232 quiet mornings -- so much so that even my breakfast toast is deafening
#233 making family connections with a mother of a dear high school friend who is long departed
#234 GA National Fair -- unless one lives in Perry, one cannot appreciate the excitement of "fair days." It is counted down for 50 weeks on a local sign, and we all anticipate its arrival. Only an 11-day season pass will do!
#235 cowboys being cowboys
#236 spending the day with my parents on my dad's 82nd birthday
#237 my daddy -- a man of integrity and faithfulness -- so thankful for this man!
#238 laughing so hard with my kids that my side feels like it's going to split wide open
#239 time spent with family -- after 22 years, my husband's sister and brother-in-law were finally able to take in a full day of fair activities with us. We love them so much...
#240 that God sees the disconnect of my heart and still loves me
Awake my senses, O Lord. I want to live.
