This week I am purposing to notice, and thank the Lord, for miracles amongst the everyday humdrum of daily routines

Monday…

66. waking up to dark clouds in the sky

67. God’s design for weather to change, bringing newness to days and seasons

68. unexpected raindrops

69. spontaneous decisions to wander away from everyday routines and do something different

70. the excitement of surprised children

71. when the sun comes out and warms up days with plans to be outside

72. amazing creatures to wonder at on land and down in the depths of the sea, each so amazing, so intricate, with it’s very own features and stories to tell of behaviors, lifestyle, and purposes… AMAZING!

73. octopuses, seahorses, jellyfish, and starfish

74. that life isn’t just existing, but additionally includes laughter, fun, excitement, wonder, mystery, joy, love, touch, sight, sound, taste, thrill, questions, answers, knowledge, wisdom, and so much more

75. unexpected gratitude verbally expressed by a four year old, for the things we do for her and give to her, in hopes of blessing her

76. cameras that capture fleeting moments so they can be relived and enjoyed for years to come

77. sleeping babies in car-seats

78. my husband’s sweet hand on mine as he drives the family home

79. warm running water for baths and showers at the end of long tiresome days

80. the comforts of home, soft sofas, cold drinks of water, pajamas

81. my son’s heart for the people of Haiti unfailingly expressed every night in his prayers

82. memories made as a family and stories to talk about for decades

*You can view where this week of gratitude posts began on Sunday’s post.  Come back tomorrow as purposed gratitude continues.
