48 Things… a birthday gratitude list
“Be grateful for everyday you don’t wake up dead and the morning you do,
be grateful you were right with Jesus.”
~ Mary Brock
a rainy day; the promise of snow; fuzzy socks; candles burning; my dog’s cold nose
birthday cake for breakfast; quiet mornings; dark roasted coffee; hot cocoa; sleeping in
heirloom gifts from Mom; memories not fading; new traditions birthing
the smell of oak; a warm fire; holding hands; howling winds; a soft, hand stitched quilt
purple cauliflower, smokey white’s habanero sauce; dandelion miso paste
a warm bowl of oatmeal with blueberries
7 months vegan
eating off china; grandma’s silver
Shabbat candle lighting, prayer; indwelling peace
board games; old movies; pure joy; celebrations
Hanukkah candles burning bright
a rooster crowing, a dog barking; a hen clucking; a bird singing
ravens sitting in the trees
the setting sun painting everything gold; pink clouds; stars that twinkle
goodnight kisses; birthday wishes
mercies that are new each morning
truth; grace; forgiveness
Yeshua
and this year’s goals…
to do more of what makes me holy {Leviticus 11, 19:2, 20:7}
to be peaceable {Romans 12:18}
to be grateful in all circumstances {1 Thessalonians 5:18, Ephesians 5:20}
to practice true religion {James 1:27}
