I love it that you're using Ann's booklet... it is such a sweet little place to write our thankfulness each day. #420 got me thinking: do I remind the friends in my heart to search the Scriptures? Many blessings to you and yours this Holy Week.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Donna Rae. . . . first, I had to go read the Psalm and it was just what I needed today. Second, i was impressed that someone would remind you to read a portion of Scripture. I don't do that enough either. Thank you for that reminder. Thank you for Psalm 130. Just thank you for being here!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful week of gifts! Playing in the rain, how fun! So grateful for #424. Yay for handmade cards! :) I look forward to seeing a bluebird in the yard... they haven't built a nest in a few years. I have missed them!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful list of praises, no injuries - God is good. I hope the repairs go smoothly. Love your capturing of the blue Jay they are so beautiful. We have starlings by the thousands here and quails and such, your blue jay reminds me of springs coming, full of color. have a blessed day.
