A Gift Bringing Laughter, Prayer, Quiet

3 Gifts:
1.  Laughter is part of each day with the antics of our toy poodle & Boykin spaniel.
A happy heart is like good medicine,
but a broken spirit drains your strength. PROVERBS 17:22 NCV

2.  Prayer is in every stitch of my lovely soft prayer shawl.... 
 So grateful for beautiful prayer warriors sacrifices of love -
 a great encouragement on this cancer journey.
The first thing I want you to do is pray.  pray every way you know how, 
for everyone you know.  1Timothy 2:1 MSG

3.  Quiet contemplation is enriched by beauty and inspiring words....
HOPE IN THE DARK, A Positive Look at Life on The Edge of Eternity has brought 
comfort and inspiration in my times of quiet....a thoughtful gift from a new friend.
Bart Larson, a hospice chaplain has filled this book with many beautiful graces.



















All that is desirable in things is an image of the supremely desirable God.

Something Above, Below, Beside

#1000Gifts   #JoyDare
Whatever happens, always be thankful.  
This is how God wants you to live in Christ Jesus.
1Thessalonians 5:18 (ERV)
After days of winter rain and gloom it felt so good to walk in the sunlight today.  
Thank you, Lord, that  I can always walk in the warming light of your Presence and daily discover new joys all around me!

A Gift Sweet, Sour, Just Right

Learning to use the healthier choice of honey to replace artificial sweeteners at tea time.
Making small changes toward a healthier lifestyle has paid good dividends so far: more energy, fewer aches & pains, and a clearer mind!  # 1000Gifts  #JoyDare
