Grace Notes - Counting the Gifts 613-631

Glory to God in highest heaven
Who unto man, His Son has given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.
~ Martin Luther

So here we are in a brand new year, the old has passed, the new is come.  There are things I desire to leave behind, but counting the gifts of God's grace is not one of them.  This I will continue . . . 

613.  An iPod loaded with sermons and music to listen to when sleep won't come
614.  Finally getting comfortable
615.  My peek-a-boo kitten
616.  Pajama day
617.  Chicken soup
618.  Grace for my girl in a difficult situation
619.  Parcel arriving in the mail, with . . . 
620.  treats . . . home made gingerbread biscotti
621.  Handmade clay ornaments from my big girlies
622.  Page turner - Ann Voskamp's "God in the Moment"
623.  Bumper sticker truth
624.  Fish & chips . . . I love cod!
625.  Buy one, get one free
626.  Christmas movie with air-popped popcorn and real butter
627.  Finished the project for Ema's 1st birthday
628.  Pink washed morning sky
629.  Being in the moment before it fades away
630.  A new year, a new blank page full of promise and possibilities
631.  For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes and amen . . . 2 Corinthians 1:20

    Dear Andrea Dawn,

    The pictures are so beautiful throughout this post and I love 614, 622, 624, 627, 628 (it looked like my sky this morning!) and 631. All the rest were great, too, but these struck a chord in my heart somewhere.

    I am not doing the year of pictures, although I truly LOVED looking at yours. It was a bit like going down memory lane for me plus I learned new things. I hope you post the Kreativ Blogger Award on your site, too, then I will learn 10 more things. Susan's list was a real eye-opener, smile!

    I am so happy you are feeling more comfortable. You must get ready for the spring thaw! You have lots to do and places to go. All the best, dear one,

    Dawn

    I love how your "perfect" gift of the sweater, all pink, blends into the gift of the sunrise below it...
    I am with you on the popcorn and the Christmas movie! Actually I feel blessed to see "all" your grace notes and I am smiling with you today. Hugs and prayers to your dear Shannon... in my sorting through my studio yesterday I came upon a lovely old photo of a playdough day with her and my kiddies at our littlest table in the kitchen ... They were all so "young"! Sigh... precious moments!
    I am so thankful for you "finally getting comfortable". May God continue His tender mercies through this healing process.
    Love you my friend!
