Day 30: Something You're Passionate About

I am grateful for and passionate about the message in these two songs.  First one (above) - that we are perfectly loved by God.  Second one (below) - that God is with us and is our steady hope in all the ups and downs of life.

This is the final day of the summer gratitude series - I'm grateful to end with this, the biggest and best thing to be grateful for.  Thanks to those of you who have followed along with these.   As I go through many of the same prompts year after year, it's interesting how this becomes a bit of a time capsule, capturing things that are going on in my life right now but that might be completely different five years down the road.  It's fun for me to grab these moments in time and get them down on paper (well, blog), and I hope if any of you are following along privately, that it's having a good effect for you.  And thanks to those who have messaged me with things you're grateful for - I love to hear it, and would welcome more! 

Day 29: A Compliment You Have Received

Today I'm grateful for a compliment from a friend I received earlier this year, after I sent her a care package.  She said, "This is what it looks like when a person knows you really well."  It was nothing fancy - some food and a puzzle book - but they were things that I knew she particularly would like.  As a friend, I try to be someone who sees and understands the person well - but I don't always hit the mark.  So it makes me grateful when a person feels seen by me, and it also makes me grateful when they take the time to say so.
