Once upon a time, on my old blog, I kept a running list of “Grace Gifts“— little daily somethings that remind me (when I take the time to pause & ponder) that all that I have has been given to me by a wise, kind God as evidence of His grace extended toward me through Jesus Christ. I’m not as disciplined in this as I once was, but still find it helpful to periodically stop, breathe in, and “remember the deeds of the Lord.”
Today I’m grateful for…
- Shai Linne’s “The Attributes of God” album. More specifically, the track “Mercy and Grace,” which defines grace as “God’s riches at Christ’s expense”
- Friday morning quiet time at Ebenezer’s Coffeehouse
- My house
- VSCOCAM!!!
- Mint tea with honey just before bed
- Slipper socks (this weather is totally messing with my head)
- #learningtoloverunning
- MapMyRUN app
- Working from home (no make up, lots of comfort)
- Last-minute tax info finally submitted to my accountant (stress relief!!!)
- To do lists. On re-used envelopes. BEST.
- That even though time is whizzing by (we’re 1/3 of the way through 2012, yo), nothing is outside of God’s control. peace.
How about you? What are three things that you’re most grateful for on this lovely Friday?
Oh, Sarah, love your lists! Especially the envelope-to-do-lists got me this time, giggle. Saluti!!
today i’m grateful for….
- a more spacious apartment, with new places to put favorite things
- trust in God’s provision, even when unexpected, expensive car issues pop up…
- sunny days
- robin’s egg blue nail polish
- coffee shop workdays
It’s funny, the Lord was reminding me this week that I haven’t been consistent with writing down my gratefulness list and I realized that when I rush rush rush, I miss out on the little things. My three things: a nice run this morning. lunch with a friend. the steadfastness of the Lord. Happy Friday
