From Above

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.  James 1:17 ESV

holy experience


Continuing to number the gifts:

539. Mirth.

540. Learning to allow God to fulfill His promises in His appointed way.

541. Star-shaped glitter.

542. Friends in the body of Christ who respond to my frantic 3 a.m. emails with grace.

543. Friend being ¾ of the way through chemo.

544. Light in the darkness.

545. Getting to make a 6 a.m. wake-up call to a special friend who needed it.

546. Learning from others’ examples.

547. Son out trimming landscaping in the rain.

548. The smell of cedar.

549. First apple pie of the season. Pie = love.

550. Getting the long-awaited doctors’ letters.

551. Baby girl coming home this week for church shower!

Sorry, the grammar of my sentence was horrid -
#544 reminded me of Micah 7:8 ("Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me.")
I feel rather inspired to try listing as well :)

Of course.
Great list. Full of fun and serious joy. My favorite combination.
