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....

#217 - an extra guest for dinner
