GRATEFUL HOPE

Each day new. 

Blessings will spill forth. 

Will you recognize the gifts? 

Even in the ugliest moments there are gifts. 

Do you believe that? 

I do.

I also believe that sometimes we miss them. 

Looking ahead, rushing through, distracted by. 

Whatever the explanation is, we miss them. 

And another thing I believe is that we forget them.

We swear we will remember, but then time slowly erases the color from the memory and finally we lose it.

Until something reminds us. 

A smell, a note, a photo, a word spoken, a song. 

Reminders. 

What if. 

We take the time to NOTICE.

Then to record. 

What if we look into God's word and see a way of living. 

One that allows us to see how he fills. 

Pours out.

Overflowing. 

Allowing us to FULL, FULLY, BEAUTIFULLY live. 

Coming this fall --- 

a day of learning.

in a small group of supportive, encouraging friends.

1000 Gifts - a DVD based study. 

Good food.

Pampering.

Encouragement. 

Laughter.

Tears. 

Grace.

Growing.

Blessings.
