Springtime!

My journey to 1,000 points of gratitude to my LORD and GOD

276. Green grass
277. The sound of a lawn mower
278. Children's excited voices as they see a gopher, then two, then three....
The excitement escalating as they see more.
279. Pulling weeds out of the flowerbed.
280. The smell of the earth as I work in God's dirt
281. The thought that this is what God made man from
282. Budding of trees, some leaves starting to show
283. A robin sitting on the lamppost
284. A beautiful song in church that fills my eyes with tears and my heart with gratitude of what my Lord has done for me.
285. Reading of our bible heroes and the children being able to finish the story.
286. Children smiling as we learn in church.
287. Fellowship
288. My mother's voice, welcoming her calls and visits
289. A call from my sister that she is going to church again.
290. He who comes back this morning because he realized he did not kiss me goodbye.
291. Packing a lunch for my husband, topping it off with my love.
292. Washing his clothes, making his food, keeping his house, because I love him.
293. His childish grin as he goes for a couple hours of archery practice.
294. Smell of baking bread in the kitchen.
295. A little girl's tears as she realizes she is outgrowing the blanket she has had from birth.
296. A 10 year old who so wants to be a man, but not yet willing to surrender legos.
297. Singing old hymns that I have not thought of since I was a child.
298. Plans for today
299. Hope for tomorrow
300. A desire to follow my LORD and GOD, to know HIM intimately, to fall in love with HIM, brand new each moment of each day.
