God's gifts from one year of One Thousand Gifts




I want to post a labor of love.  It was not my labor, but the work of my step-father.  Richard so kindly put together my year's worth of pictures from 2011 into video form: God's gifts from 2011.  Watching the pictures in video always brings me to tears and never ceases to remind me that I can't take a moment for granted; they all pass too quickly.
 Many thanks, Richard; your work is such a gift to me.

It was over a year ago that I started this journey toward gratitude (see the beginning at  March 2011: One Thousand Gifts).  God's been transforming me from complainer into one who praises Him for His daily gifts in each moment.  I have so far to grow: complaining and ingratitude still pops up in my heart and mouth.  But I am grateful for His continuing work.

If you want to grow in your praise of God and your realization of His beauty in each moment, read One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp and check out her blog at www.aholyexperience.com.  A taste of her wisdom from a recent post:   The Art of Celebrating Life isn’t about getting it right — but about receiving Grace.

Driving on

After eleven years and 127,000 miles, Scott's Saturn has driven on.  That amazing little economical Saturn saw us through life in the college dorms, life in married student housing, our first apartment, our first home, our first relocation, and the addition of our two kids.   We're happy to say it ended up in good hands, with my cousin, Angei, and her husband, Adam.  We had a wonderful time visiting with them for a speedy 12 hours, before they needed to drive it on to its new home.  We even got to show them some small town fun at our annual Christmas parade. Thank you for the loyal service, Saturn.

Together at last

In that delicious dim of late afternoon cloudy day, with thunder rolling in the distance, and the glow of premature artificial light, the children bubbled with joy.  I, too, had a hop in my step; even the usual dishes and laundry and scooping of the cat litter seemed no trouble, as I lingered in that cozy, moist atmosphere, of rain promised and rain fulfilled.  In our high country desert, with years of too little winter moisture to meet the requirements of even our shrubby plants, the moisture brings such deeply satisfying nourishment... not only to the plants, but to our spirits. And as school lingers just four more days before us, we enjoyed an afternoon homework-free -- and for the children, chore-free.  Even I had the benefit of dinner already prepared -- leftovers from my father-in-law's talented hands.  So I prompted the girls to invite their neighbor friend over, even invited her to stay for dinner and our special movie night.  And the boys played in th...
