Continuing my search for His gifts, and finding them...
# 523 in a treasured hand-written letter from a precious sister in Christ
# 524 being placed in Romans 8 early so I’d be firmly entrenched now
# 525 each Run to Him chapter of the week being just the psalm I need!
3 gifts that were Plan B’s
# 526 visiting a new church
# 527 staying later at Jenna’s dance competition and unexpectedly getting to watch the teachers dance
# 528 arriving in time for small group study when we didn’t think we could
3 gifts white
# 529 my threadbare white turtleneck that still keeps me warm at home
# 530 my Kindle cord for the access to info it brings me
# 531 my El Salvador notebook that is keeping me organized
3 gifts that changed today
# 532 the weather—started out cold but rose to the 60s
# 533 instead of 5:30 singing (which I miss terribly!), getting to go to Selwyn’s class (which I loved tremendously!)
# 534 switching Bibles for awhile to the Spanish/English Bible I just bought, “Dios Llega Al Hombre”
A gift nearly worn out; a gift new; a gift made-do
# 535 Jeff still loving me even though I’m wearing him out with my emotions
# 536 Romans 8 first-letter strips for my block in the teen room
# 537 Jenna finding a perfect “new” dress for her formal at the thrift store for $6
3 gifts seen as reflections
# 538 hearing enthusiasm from the teen girls reflect about their weekend retreat and the twelve spiritual disciplines
# 539 seeing the love of Christ reflected through praise songs at The Light
# 540 hearing Jeff read our wedding vows again from the copy he keeps in his wallet
