Gratitude Gifts - Valentine's Edition

I'm on my through a second reading of the chapters in One Thousand Gifts and following discussion in the Bloom book club too.  This book is filled with so much to ponder and contemplate and adapt to my very own life.  In between thoughts on eucharisteo and soul holes, I pause to accept His grace to me, offer Him thanks, and live in joy!  Oh, what joy He brings!

And the gifts count on:
