His Gifts of Love

The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy. – Henri J.M. Nouven

Joyously celebrating His gifts of love this week: #824 – 836

husband calling from work just to say he missed me

blue skies

pussy willows

a soaking spring rain

greener grass

rain against the window

old church creaking under the pressure of gusting winds

glow of stained glass windows

Hosanna!

rocks ready to cry out

they didn’t have to

having a laugh over snowflakes in mid-April

sun appearing to quickly melt it away

Have you noticed God’s gifts of love this week?

In hope,
Shelli

    Once you become convinced it won’t fall down, I agree that the creaking of the church is an eerily relaxing sound 🙂
