Counting grace gifts…
-dear, earnest praying friends who send me email counsel and even scan devotional pages for me
-ministering blogs
-Ladybug bouncer chair: soft, sweet, pale pink and green
-swingset completed and four swing high, some sync together, legs pumping, long hair blowing
-hard-working husband who sweated it out to finish said swing-set, no easy task on the custom-made, super tall set. love this swing set because even the big kids can swing for years on it.
-delicious home cooked food from friends and church family
-profoundly grateful at 37 weeks 6 days (38!! weeks on 6/28) to have- Lord willing and hopefully avoided the NICU and pre-term complications, still on my feet (although feet are up more than down), and even though uncomfortable- all is well.
-butterflies covering a bush richly decorated purple
-5 of 8 Scripture placques hanging and a little 3 year old who proclaims, “I love my special placque!”
-Carolina sunshine even in the midst of rain
-never-ending hum of cool A.C. and breeze of fan
-soft, cool sheets on hot, achy legs and feet. Stretching out, it feels so good.
-a day which I feel more normal and energized than I have in weeks- maybe it was finally the ability to get down the full dose of vitamins without gagging for more than one day, maybe the babies’ are coming soon? Maybe it is just a great gift of grace…
-husband who not only cooks delicious food- but enjoys cooking, too. and in his own words, “it is a good thing I do, too, or we would be in trouble right now…” 😉
-email bible study/ book study… the mind throws off its fog and cobwebs and works on something good and higher. It feels good.
-6 dressed in matching VBS shirts and off they go. Fun times together.
