Yes, I'm still counting ... and I'm still keeping a journal of my gifts -- it's just I can't always find time to get here and post. So, in keeping with my grouping, here are my next 20.
#201 recognizing that the heart of Jesus in the NT is not so much signs and wonders but deep compassion
#202 a morning train waiting for its conductor
#203 the conductor's arrival -- Lord, have mercy, there's nothing sweeter and happier than this precious thing when he gets up in the morning!
#204 tiny acorns at the end of a slide that fit in a tiny hand
#205 playing tag with an 18 month old
#206 a good nap at the end of a hard play
#207 tickle ... tickle ... tickle...
#208 the lump that rises in my throat because I miss someone so much
#209 blue on a butterfly
#210 the emotion that rises in me when I see a grandmother and her grandsons
#211 acres and acres of sunflowers -- in full bloom
#212 gardens of gold
#213 wildlife up close and personal
#214 open windows and the tug-of-war of seasons
#215 sitting in a cool September dark with a hot cup of green tea warming my heart
#216 that God cares about rings and things -- I discovered a beautiful tanzanite and diamond ring on the edge of the sidewalk in Pine Mountain. Through a series of events, I connected with the owner who was from another state but was spending the weekend in a cabin praying with friends for a girlfriend with health issues. God cares...
#217 5 new piano students and their differing personalities -- all precious
#218 16 feet under my table enjoying food and fellowship
#219 Sunday morning headache that insures I rely fully on Christ to work through me ... PLAY through me
#220 an hour long phone conversation on a fall evening with CCF (my BFF)
Just ordinary moments...
