Gratitude Gifts Today

A quiet day at home - transplanting squash and zucchini,  putting some asters in a pot, watching plants emerge from seeds, sewing something special, reading blogs and books - resting in His love and grace.  As the season moves through the last days of spring complete with frost and one last (I hope!) round of snow, my heart is full of thanks and joy at all that I've been given.  God's love is endless and that is reason to celebrate!

    One last round of snow? I live in Georgia and it is 98 here today. I came over from Ann's today. Blessings to you. You have much to be thankful for.

    I agree with Heather. I'd love to be smelling those lilacs, too. One day I hope I'm planting one of those bushes in my yard. It's such a reminder of home for me.
    Thanks for sharing all the good gifts God's gracing you with. It's so good to see and change our perspectives when we notice the grace and good and blessings. I love these verses in Song of Songs chapter two:
    10 My beloved spoke and said to me,
    “Arise, my darling,
    my beautiful one, come with me.
    11 See! The winter is past;
    the rains are over and gone.
    12 Flowers appear on the earth;
    the season of singing has come,
    the cooing of doves
    is heard in our land.

    Spring and summer remind me that God is calling us to see, to rejoice, to enjoy Him in what is all around us.
