1. a few moments to read my Bible(s) and to journal
2. dew-drenched grass beneath my bare feet
4. a treasury of gently-used children's books from a neighbor–perfect for reading in bed with little ones all tucked in around me (thank you, Elise)
5. early morning moments alone in my backyard–breathing, watching sunrise, marveling at dew drops on flowers
6. a rambunctious game of peek-a-boo with twin toddlers
7. happy little feet pounding up and down the hall
8. a boy who still likes to be held by his Mama
9. the chance to meet a kindred spirit and blog-friend in real-life. i love you, Molly Piper!
10. flowers from my beloved. just because.
11. potty-seats make perfectly lovely necklaces.
12. a daughter who is confident enough to run for class President.
For these, and all our gifts, we give Thee thanks.
