Multitudes on Mondays

"Thanks be to God for his
inexpressible gift."
-2 Corinthians 9:15

We are working our way towards One Thousand Gifts (and more!).  It definitely makes me focus on God's presence in all moments of my life - not just during the good, happy times.  He is fully present all the time.  All we have to do is be aware and be in constant conversation with Him.  I read somewhere that the secret to prayer is that it has no end!! 

Thanks be to God for these and all gifts this past week....

#209 - cute, kissable, quiet kids reading
#211 - my lunch helper, Max
#212 - a big sink to do dishes in
#213 - fresh cut grass

#216 - Fone's natural love and talent for the piano
#217 - an extra guest for dinner
