"When gratitude is bound by circumstances, lives are bound to bitterness."
~Ann Voskamp

A Sample of Gifts on My List...
1. Small, warm brown hands slipping unexpectedly and quietly into mine.
13. New music in a language I understand after months of listening to the same thing.
14. Hot triple berry muffins fresh from the new gift of an oven with sweet hot coffee.
38. Bible study with godly women who speak with different accents, claim different places as home, but all love the same Lord who has brought us to this land.
52. My precious princesses, who twirl and spin not caring who is watching.
58. Conversations with random strangers that encourage and brighten my day.
"Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks
to the Lord, for He is good; for His lovingkindness is everlasting."
Psalm 106:1
