I don't seem to be able to record my gifts one day at a time, they simmer in the back of my mind, then I write them every two or three days. This weekend we were busy helping our daughter behind the scenes with the celebration of her husband's 30th birthday--it was big and it was fun!
Gratitude prompts for January 12
Something above, below, beside
#34 Skylights...our home lets in a lot of light and we are grateful for it. We have south and east facing windows and 2 skylights in the kitchen. Even on very cloudy days, it's pretty good.
#35 We love our sun room, and are grateful it's a year-round room. That's partly because there is another room under it, rather than just open air like some of our neighbors'.
#36 Isaiah 30:21...technically it says "behind" but that's close enough to "beside" for me.

3 things about yourself you are grateful for. Ok this is a tough one.
#37 I love music. My life would have been so flat without it (no pun intended...truly).
#38 Creativity. Discovering this part of me has been literally a life saver.
#39 Ability to laugh at myself. At least I think I can. An endless source of amusement (according to the card my cousin sent me).

3 startling graces of God
Three of the many can be summed up in Luke 11:10
#40 For everyone who asks receives,
#41 and the one who seeks finds,
#42 and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
Today I was thinking about how recording three gifts every day might become difficult to keep up with. Then I read Ann Voskamp's thoughts for this day on her blog A Holy Experience. How to Keep in Time with God. God's graces to me are the only thing that keep me going. The least I can do is write them down.
