One Thousand Gifts - Post #3

So I've missed posting my list of gratitudes the past 2 weeks. I could blame it on traveling (which is probably a ligitimate excuse) but, truth be told, I haven't really been keeping up with my written list as well as I would like. Or maybe its as well as God would like me to.

And I haven't posted on the blog since before we travelled home to the U.S...and I've missed it. That makes me happy because I feel like God wants me to write even when I don't feel like it....and even when I don't do it well. :) I enjoy sharing the life God's given me with others. Maybe what I experience will encourage you, or challenge you, or both.

My continued list of gratitudes:
