My Heart Overflows.

with gratitude.  I suppose it's normal to count your blessings in the days before Thanksgiving...but this year I have spent a great deal of time in a reflective mood.  Pondering all the gifts He has given me.  My heart?  It is filled to overflowing when I think of the gifts.  Little things.  Big things.  Gifts for the journey.

 

A fabulous family and a sassy niece who brightens every day of my life.

Friends who are authentic and real and who ask hard questions and encourage my heart.  

Heart friends.  The deepest of friends who are like sisters.

The painful days.

The beautiful days.

Rainy nights full of favorite things.

A new perspective.

Random thinking of you and praying for you emails and texts.

Love.  

Grace.

Serving others.

Captured moments.

Memories of those loved and lost.

Butterflies and becoming.

New opportunities.

Freedom.

Courage and doing it afraid.

Laughter.

A faithful furry companion... and her talkative meows.

Creativity.

Composition notebooks and pencils.

Books...and my kindle.  Great stories.

The fun of baking and cooking.

Walks on autumn mornings.

His Word and the freshness that is always there....just waiting for you to find something new and heart changing.

Comfy and cozy chairs and beds.

Social media and the fun of connecting with others.

Forgiveness.

Words.

Simplifying.

Redemption.

An old stuffed bear.

Prayers.

New things.

Flowers.

Boots and sweaters.

Fuzzy socks.

Stove popped popcorn and Christmas movies.

Encouragement.

YOU.

Yes.  YOU.

My little home on the internet is made all the more wonderful and cozy because of you.  Thank you for reading and commenting and emailing... you bless and encourage my heart so.  Thank you for journeying with me and being a part of my journey.  ♥
