Murmuring has been easy when the workload is heavy and the help is sparse.
Deep sighs escape frustrated lips as annoying habits resurface.
Blank stares replace aha! moments of creativity.
Then I remember The Key to Everything!
Forgiving is for giving. Giving keeps my heart softened.
"Forgotten grace breeds unforgiving living." Jack HayfordToday, I remember endless grace gifts as I give thanks for:
#272 family-filled days of fun and food
#273 father and father-in-law who served in the military for this nation
#274 digging in dirt to make a home for new plants
#275 dancing to the rhythm of love
#276 giving forgiveness - again and again
#277 receiving forgiveness - again and again
#278 lingering conversations after dinner
#279 laughter from the depths of souls
#280 tears falling in empathy
#281 grace, grace, and more grace
Logging you in...

Donna,
ReplyDeleteI love that! Forgiving is for giving. I have never heard that or even thought of that. Thank you for sharing. This is something that I will ponder and meditate on for days this week.
I join you in gratitude for the one that has taught us about forgiveness and how to give that most special gift of reconciliation!

What a special post this is, Donna. I love the lesson of forgiving is for giving! A lesson that I've been relearning has to do with those deep sighs that escape frustrated lips! I hate it when I hear myself doing that! And I especially liked your #247. Do you get the idea that I also like to dig in the dirt? :) Thanks for sharing! And for stopping by and giving me the gift of encouragement.
ReplyDeleteMeaningful list Donna. "Forgotten grace . . ." I take for granted so often all He's done for me, inspite of me. I don't want to forget. This list is a wonderful way to remember the grace in our lives.
