With child-like anticipation and joy for this new month, I give thanks for:
#353 - 362
evening surprise celebration of niece's happy birthday
weekend of sharing meals with covenant friends
moments of sister laughter, so rich
week of learning in new environment
anniversary month praise
vacation anticipation
words heard, words spoken, strength arising
growing, fragrant lavender
cool breezes in the early morning
insight from wise youth

What a beautiful thing, God, to give thanks, to sing an anthem to you, the High God! To announce your love each daybreak, sing your faithful presence all through the night. Psalm 92: 1-2

Enjoyed stopping by your blog through Ann's blog.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that the words heard, words spoken, strength arising, were the gifts you wrote about that spoke to my heart. I love that the words heard and spoken for me come directly through Him, His word, and His people. Thanks for sharing ....
I enjoyed hearing about the tradition you had of welcoming each new month when your children were still at home. It brought a smile to my face because my husband and I always exchange a "happy ....whichever month it is" the first of each month. It gives us a "fresh start" kind of feeling! :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your gratitude list, also. "insight from wise youth". That, my friend, speaks so much of your humility. So many times adults feel that there is nothing to learn from those younger than ourselves.
"moments of sister laugh, so rich" ....I love that!
@Dianna, how wonderful for you and your husband to greet new months with blessings to one another! Blessings and joy...
