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.

GRATEFUL HOPE

More information to come.

Here is the original post about why this retreat is so very important to me.
