Romans 12:1-2

So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:1-2

One Thousand Gifts

Really - I'm just going to have to deal with the fact that 100 of these aren't digital.  If I wait to "catch up" I won't put any online.

I continue to count gifts and be thankful...

1722  Wiggly clean almost two year old
1723  The love and hospitality of family
1724  The hope of doing it again
1725  Figuring out the right direction
1726 Rain – so many places in need (gifts in water)
1727  J’s expression of adoration for and pleasure in vacationing with is family (words)
1728  Fluffy clouds – something to look at when we drive and I could look at clouds for hours (white)
1729  Five days in the Black Hills
1730  The sound of the water from the back porch fountain
1731  Bug spray
1732  A second way inside the house when the inexperienced in flying birds are flying in the front
1733  Watching them have a flying lesson last Sunday
1734  Starting book number ten for the summer
1735  Teenagers having dinner
1736  Teenagers upstairs
1737  Throwing a tomahawk
1738  New rockers
1739  Knowledge and love (I Cor.)
1740  A kindle for several years and an IPAD now

1742  M. going to Inner City Chicago (Gifts in Challenge)
1743  Reading before watching TV (Conflict)
1744  Hubby is in the midst of his job transition (Change)

Not everyone is looking, but I like the close-up.  I can't believe how much they've grown up!
