One Thousand Gifts
I have decided that I want to particiopate in the One Thousand Gifts activity.
What a wonderful idea! Writing down God's blessings as you go.
I have a little journal in my room that I call my happy book in which I sometimes do this.
So, this entry will be continually expanding as time goes. I will keep adding God's gifts as I see them every day. I hope you enjoy this and perhaps get inspired to notice the gifts he has given you. If you want to read more, or if you want to participate, click on the One Thousand Gifts tag on the right hand side of this page ...you'll be able to read many other Christian Women's lists.

November 8~
1. Chubby hands of two 10 month old girls clapping as they say "yea" with glowing smiles...
2. The quiet chirp of a cricket on a summer night
3. Moonglow over the fields
4. My oldest son's sense of humor
5. My oldest daughter's genteel, ladylike ways
6. My second son's keen ability to find what he wants
7. The sharp smell of frost in the air when the temperatures drop to freezing
8. Strong, sheltering arms of a loving husband
9. Gentle nuzzling of a baby's so soft cheek against my skin in the wee hours of the morning
10. The coolness of a smooth, clean sheet against a feverish face
11. Fragrance drifting from the vase of roses...a gift from my true love
12. gentle purring from the warm kitty against the toes
13. Mmm! I smell the hot, steamy, beef stew simmering all day on the back of the stove
14. A small 3 year old clutching mother's leg in a hug as she tries to cook
15. Birdsong...of every variety

November 14~
16. blue,blue skies
17. delicate porcelain dolls
18. fragrance of cedar wood
19. fresh, gentle breezes ruffling my hair on a fall day
20. sunbeams slanting through the dining room window
21. lace doilies crocheted by my dear grandmother
22. large , waxy leaves and blooms on a magnolia tree
23. brilliant colors of leaves in the fall
24. distant sound of a train whistle
25. crushed, pressed style of ice served at Sonic Drive-In! :-)
26. little ones singing in the bathtub
27. tangy flavor and crispness of a freshly made caesar salad
28. belly giggles of little ones playing peek-a-boo
29. gentle guitar melodies drifting from my son's bedroom~ expressions of his heart
30. orderly schedules
31. the smell of fresh peaches
32. warm water running over my feet after a long day
33. the cozy crackle and glow of a fire in a fireplace
34. photography
35. the yippy squeak of a little puppy
36. crunchy fall leaves under my feet

Sounds like you have a lovely family. I enjoyed reading your blessings. I am working on my list too. I only have 950 more to go!
