One Year Old and Still Singing!

One year ago, I began writing this blog.  Singing in the Cold opened the Doorway to Hope and began a journey in hearing and writing words that encourage.  I desired to use this space to write "the right words to encourage the weary." (Isaiah 50:4)

Songs of joy pour out of my grateful heart for the gifts that the Gift-giver unfolds daily.  Today, my songs of gratitude are for:

#632  the love of reading learned from my mother whose formal education ended early in her life, but whose life-long learning continues

#633 encouraging words that have power to heal, restore, strengthen, and comfort

#634 fellow bloggers committed to writing encouraging words

#635 grace to apply lessons on writing

#636 meal shared with friends

#637 wisdom for planning

#638 celebrating small steps forward

#639 shared vision for life in marriage

#640 team work

#641 creative recipes

Sing your song of gratitude with Ann's gratitude community.

In joy,
