Gratitude Gifts Today


holy experience


I have noticed so many tiny little things to be grateful for today!

- the chirping of a little wren

- the little wren's nest in a birdhouse on our patio

- raindrops hanging



- bright little thank you cards ready to mail

- new stamps

- cinnamon

- the just-formed little flowers of the bleeding heart



- finding tiny trucks that are still out of the toybox, some 2 weeks after the little boys have returned home

- a card for $5 off my next pedicure

- watching baby calves frolic in the pasture

- new little roots on a spider plant cutting

- the lovely green of oak leaves



- cinnamon buns with caramel sauce

- empty hangers from a purged section of closet

- sharing good reads with friends

- lilacs



- a jar of chai latte' waiting in the fridge

- finishing a book

- little tiny bird stickers

- stamped images ready for the front of a card

- rhubarb stalks fresh picked from the garden



- the blossoms of the cranberry bush alongside a few of last year's dried berries

- a cheery little piece of patterned paper fashioned into a birthday card

- seeds

- hearing little voices in the background of telephone conversations

- a special mug from Poland (thanks, M & T!)

- growing tips on the spruce trees


- wandering outside and marveling at the Creator of all this

- knowing that God watches over all this and me too!
