All together now - applause for God!
Sing songs to the tune of His glory, set glory to the rhythms of His praise.
Say of God, "We've never seen anything like Him!"
When Your enemies see You in action, they slink off like scolded dogs.
The whole earth falls to its knees - it worships You, sings to You,
can't stop enjoying Your name and fame.
Take a good look at God's wonders - they'll take your breath away.

Such a great list today! I smiled my way through as I read. I loved that skirt -- just beautiful colors put together there. I laughed at the duck thing. They do have a way of picking the oddest of spots and are so stubbornly determined to stay there. Love it!!!! And I loved your downy woodpecker. When they arrive at my feeder, I'm pretty sure they have young ones. Otherwise, they just don't want what I put out. I really loved 861. Sufficient grace. . . I had one of those situations last week and I still sigh a bit when I think of it. I could have been mean spirited, could have spoken harshly, and I would have been right. But "right" isn't always right, is it? Grace always fits, even in the hard places. Thank you for such a great list and for sharing it. It was great to be here!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! Rejoicing with you on number 859! Such a blessing. The skirt is so pretty. I just love that style. Your grandgirlie will twirl and twirl, I bet.
ReplyDeletesometimes I am surprised by man's care... your duck story so blessed me! God does soften hearts!
ReplyDeleteYour skirt brought back memories of hand me down dresses made my your loving hands...
Cora, I love your "Right isn't always right, is it? Grace always fits, even in the hard places."
Love the beauty of heart I see in each gratitude. I will be by for some watermelon!
You mentioned watermelon TWICE. Good choice for a re-cap. I buy the whole melon and then proceed to eat it all by myself. This weekend, however, I have a bunch of grandkids coming do I will have to share. We used to have seed-spitting contests when I was little, but they make these seedless melons now and spoil all the fun! How DO we get new watermelons? Hmmm
ReplyDeleteI love everything on this list. You are sew ;^) crafty and your attention to nature thrills my heart. Almost every list you thank God for your daughter. Much of who she is is a result of your mothering. You are reaping the rewards of your care.
My favorite this week is electricity. This is something we take for granted. My goodness, I couldn't even compute without it. Edison's capture changed life for all who came after him. May we do the same, each in our own way, for the glory of God.

I so enjoyed reading your post. Lovely lovely gifts and list.
ReplyDeleteDucks and birds sometimes pick the weirdest of places to set up home don't they! Lovely list too.
