Giving thanks with the Gratitude Community for His unending gifts...
...watching our painted lady chyrsalides transform into caterpillars...
...van packed for a trip to the lake...
...watching/listening to a blue jay call from our front oak tree and seeing another blue jay fly in...
...celebrating Wes' birthday...
...kids running off the dock into the water...
...time with a close friend...
...that our house was untouched during the storm...
...that our neighbor is alive with only a broken arm after his electrocution from the generator...
...days without power that help us to notice those important things that we take for granted everyday...
...family campout in the basement...
...his joy in the sprinkler...
...the newest little boy on the block...
...releasing our butterflies and watching them fly away...
...our power restored before the extreme heat wave...
...difficulties that spark good conversations...
...God's lovingkindness...
...celebrating Joshua's birthday as a family and with friends...
...this quote...
"We come to Him as ragamuffins--dirty, bedraggled and beat-up. And when we sit at His feet, He smiles upon us, the chosen objects of His 'furious love.'" Brennan Manning
...and this one too...I couldn't have come across this one at a better time...

Sometimes you end up loving because you give." Ann Voskamp

A beautiful list. I'm hearing several talk about the storms. Glad for His grace over you. We are packing up for a trip to the lake soon too, counting the days until we hit the road. Nice to meet you through Ann's place.
