Gratitude Gifts Today

Today was a day to long be remembered!!  Our son-in-law Tyler is waiting to enter a medical residency program and the match day was today.  God has led and guided and provided for Tyler and Melinda for the past 5 years and today He once again directed them down the next path on their journey.  I'll share more details about this once Mel and Tyler have had a chance to process a bit and once they've shared the news with those closest to them.  God is so, so good!!

And He keeps providing and I keep noticing.  And by noticing, time stands still for a brief moment and opens the way to me having enough time to live this one life I've been given!  (paraphrase from Ann's book)

- corn chowder

- cheese scones

- Sunday worship

- knowing that He can change a life

- leftovers for lunch

- full grocery boxes

- orange, purple and pink in the sunrise

- hugs and kisses first thing in the morning

- coloring together

- phone calls

- afternoon naps for everyone in the house

- amazing Dads who spent long hours with their little ones
